Is it possible to scale up the measuring tool's units display?

I'm trying to take a screenshot of an assembly when measuring the distance between two points.

And, no I don't want to put it in a drawing

If you mean that you want the dimension that appears in the graphics area to be a larger font, then no, I don't believe you can do that.

If you don't want to create a drawing, then the only thing I can think of would be to create a sketch, with a point at each of the points you want to dimension to, and place a dimension between these two points in the sketch. You can change the font for dimension text.

    Actually there is a way...it's not published anywhere (that I know of) but like an Internet browser or Word/Excel, you can hold down CTRL and scroll the mouse wheel up or down to resize. The unfortunate things is that it is not a sticky change, you need to do it each time you open the dialog.
    
    Enjoy
