How can you resize a drawing and maintain the "Aspect Ratio" of the text....?

If you have a shape, that shape has text and you want to resize the entire
drawing, how can you maintain the text as "Aspect Ratio" within that same
shape?

You can lock/Protect it, you can go to "Show ShapeSheet" and protect
everything, but it does not maintain the ratio of the text.

Does anyone know how?... I have tried everything. The only thing I can do
is reduce the size of the Font, but that will take me too long. I have too
many shapes /stencils.

You might want to check out this link:

still pertinent to V200X. Talks about controlling Text Behavior.

Thanks, this is an excellent tool / reference book to have.

I have another question...

Resizing text with shapes... it only allows you to resize each shape instead
of by group.

I combined several shapes to form one stencil / shape and in order to use
the formulas; you have to click each shape... I have over a thousand
shapes... with at least 20 thousand texts...

Is there a formula that I can use to represent the group?

Any, any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Brandy
