Rescaling annotation

After importing CAD annotation, you can rescale the font size property by applying a conversion factor to existing values in the FontSize field with Field Calculator.

The following steps rescale annotation from meters to U.S. survey feet.

1. Start an editing session. This is optional. An editing session enables you to undo your results but is not required to perform field calculations.
2. Right-click the annotation feature layer and click Open Attribute Table.
3. Right-click the field heading for the FontSize field and click Field Calculator .
4. Double-click the FontSize field in the fields list to enter it into the expression box.
5. Type *(1200/3937).

   The complete expression should read: [FontSize]*(1200/3937)

6. Click OK.
7. Close the attribute table.

Verify your results.
