Getting down to business - Tips that is

I have decided to try to really do what I intend to do on this blog - post tips and tricks for Revit and AutoCAD.
I am putting my first one out here today and I promise to try to get out here more often.
The first one is from my AU class in 2008.

Revit Tip #1 - Adjust the Temporary Dimension Font Size

Open the Revit.ini file in Notepad. It can be found here:
C:\Program Files\Revit Architecture 2009\Program\Revit.ini
Add the following line:
[Graphics]
TempDimFontSizeInPoints=N
The value of “N” has a default of “8” so you need to increase this value. A good point to begin is to double the size. It is best to do a search for this text to see if it has already been changed in the ini file.
