The feature to display font at a fixed height does not work in Version 10. Works fine in the version 9 program that I still have operating.
Any fixes?

    It seems to be working fine for me. What is the behavior that you are seeing?

    Thanks,

    I just came across this problem (or possibly a change and the ASCII field options help file wasn't updated). I can set the point's height in meters in Global Mapper, but FONT_HEIGHT_METERS and FONT_HT_M don't seem to have any effect in my ASCII data file (it's listed as an attribute in GM, but the text is 12 point font not the height I've specified).

    Which version of Global Mapper are you using? There was a problem in some earlier versions with those attributes not working, but all should be ok in the latest release.

    Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

    Thanks,

    The project was started in GM9 and now we're using GM10. I just loaded the ASCII file into GM9 and the font was in meters. I closed and opened the file in GM10 as well as loading the ASCII file in a new project, and in both cases it was still in 12 point font.

    Can you try downloading the latest build from http://www.globalmapper.com/global_mapper10.zip and extracting it over your v10 installation to see if that helps? If not can you send me the text file and I'll take a look?

    Thanks,

    Unfortunately I don't have admin rights on this computer, but I will try using the latest build when I can get someone to overwrite the older file. In the meantime, all of my waypoints are in the following format:

    NAME=VANIMO
    POINT_SYMBOL=Dot - Green
    FONT_NAME=Arial
    FONT_HEIGHT_METERS=2000
    FONT_COLOR=RGB(255,255,255)
    -2/41.29 141/17.87

    Your format looks ok to me, let me know if you still have trouble with the latest build.
