How to Maintain Annotation Display Size in SOLIDWORKS

Problem

In SOLIDWORKS Part and Assembly files, Dimensions and other Annotations can be set to maintain size or scale when zooming in or out.

Solution

This is controlled by the Document Property setting "Always display text at the same size" that is located in Options > Document Properties > Detailing. This option is disabled in Drawings, which always zoom the text height.
 

Detailing setting for Annotation Size

With it checked, the dimensions and other annotations will scale when zooming in or out.
