Hi,
V5
I am still on V5 as I am suffering from loads of projects using annotations model space 10 and told they need to be 1, as this is why when opened into V7, where I gave up, and into V8, they go microscopic,
it was a bug of V5 I was once told, it should have been 1 not 10, and was got at by it.
So I have just converted all my styles in a project from, Model Space 10 to Model space 1, so text height 0.04 which gave me 0.4inch tall text in a dimension, after x10 and model space change 10 to 1, , now is 0.4 and I still see 0.4inch tall text in a dim. arrow length 0.04 is redone as 0.4 so they still look correct. 
lets try and use V8 for the first time. having bought it months ago,
Choose Small Objects Inches (there is no decimal inches), grid is 1/4 inch. yuk !
I go properties grid and make it every 0.1 inch and majors every 10.
I have a decimal inch frid, good !
I go annotations and choose decimal inches,
SHOCK HORROR.
AND THE MODEL SPACE SCALE IS…10 OMG !
here we go again. 
Now what do I do.
I have spent half a day AS INSTRUCTED TO, altering styles including the one called Inch Decimal to be Model scale 1
so it opens correctly in V8, else they will be microscopic…(as 1:10 text is 10x as small as in V5, when opened into V7 or V8 and in V8 that name is at 10 !
HELLS BELLS…
doomed if I dont and doomed if I do !
Absolutely floored !
Just what is the next step here ?
Steve
