Title text drafting size in plotter units

For example: If the title text size is set to 0.30, and the map scale to 1:100, then the title will appear the same size as an object that is 30 units tall. Changing the scale to 1:1000 results in title text of 300 units and so forth.
Data text drafting size in plotter units
Enter the size of the data text on the plot. For transformable fonts, this is in relation to the map scale (see above paragraph).
Note The title text and data text will be treated as two separate text objects.
Map scale

Frame text
Select this check box to frame the text. The frame is only displayed on the screen and is not plotted. This check box only displays when you select a non-transformable font.
Drafting angle
