SR, Relative Character Size
This command specifies the size of characters as a percentage of the
distance between P1 and P2. Use SR to establish relative character
size so that if the P1/P2 distance changes, the character size adjusts
to occupy the same relative amount of space.

While the SR command is in effect (with or without parameters),
changes in P1 and P2 affect the size of characters in the currently
selected font.
z
No Parameters
— Defaults the relative character width to 0.75%
of the distance (P2X – P1X) and the height to 1.5% of the
distance (P2Y – P1Y).
z
Width
— Sets the character width to the specified percentage of
the distance between the X-coordinates of P1 and P2. A negative
width parameter mirrors labels in the right-to-left direction.
Note
Changing character size also changes the apparent stroke weight of
labels; the printer adjusts characters relative to changes in P1/P2. As
long as the aspect ratio remains the same with changes in P1/P2,
characters will have the same appearance relative to the new P1/P2
rectangle.
z
Height
— Sets the character height to the specified percentage of
the distance between the Y-coordinates of P1 and P2. A negative
height parameter mirrors labels in the top-to-bottom direction.
