There is no direct command to do this, but yes, there is a fairly easy way
to do it. Are you familiar with AutoCad's "filter" command? The block
containing JUST the text attributes is called "srvpno1" (replace the "1"
with whatever point number style you are using for the dwg you are in). In
survcadd, this is called the point number "attribute style". I normally only
use freeze and thaw for layer control, so I thaw just the layers I want that
have points on them I want to change. Any other layers that are currently on
screen can remain on and thawed and unlocked. You can also do this by just
having the layer that contains only part of the text attribute (pntno for
instance). Pntdesc and Pntelev don't even have to be on. Using autocad's
filter (not Survcadd's) choose block name, select "srvpno1" from the list of
blocks, or whatever point number style you are using, choose add, and hit
OK. When the routine ask you to select, type "all", or pick just certain
point numbers from the screen if you need to just select a few, but you
don't need to go to this much trouble to pick just a few. You now have a
selection set of pntno, pntdesc and pntelev only. Symbols and Points are not
included in this selection set. Use the routine "rescale point attributes"
or "resize point attributes", and when it ask you to select, just type "p"
(for previous). It will then proceed to change only the size of the pntno,
pntdesc and pntelev of all the points you selected.

Is there a way to change the text height for PNTNO, PNTELEV, PNTDESC
without
freezing off all the other layers? Unless you select just the text or
freeze
off the other layers, even the symbol changes size when this command is
used. Is there a command that just changes the text height for the point
attributes?
