===============================================================================
Sets fixed text, dimension, and linear pattern plot scales and dimension
extension line size.

         1. (NUM) plot scale for fixed text/dimension/linear pattern
                                                         (0.01-100000) <100>
         2. (NUM) dimension extension line size (in mm., greater than 0) <5>

Description

This command determines the plot size for the subsequently created text,
dimension and linear pattern ("text entity") created by giving it a unique
plot scale. The default when entering the work session is 100. This command
also determines the dimension extension line size.

All "fixed texts" created after this setting are affected immediately by this
setting. It does not affect any previously created "text entity" until \refr
or any other screen redraw command is executed.

Fixed text will maintain the same size during placing, at any scale. It will
be scaled on screen during a zoom. Its final size on screen is calculated by:

   real size    =  original size * current plot scale (reference scale)
   screen size  =  real size/screen scale

Scaled text in placed objects is changed in size according to the placing scale
only (the factor on the `X' of its active plane). Its final size on screen is
calculated by:

   real size    =  original size * placing factor
   screen size  =  real size /screen scale

Fixed text size is affected by the current reference scale set in \tscrn.
