Or you can just use pcb-rnd and the property editor dialog box:

http://igor2.repo.hu/tmp/propedit5.png

1. select all the element names you want to change (or you can just select 
the elements, doesn't really matter); top window on the sceenshot

2. ctrl+e; this brings up the property editor on all selected objects 
(bottom window on the screenshot)

3. select the row p/text/scale

4. edit the bottom left "change property of all objects" from 100 to 50 
(note: text scale is in %; 100 is the default text size)

5. click apply, close the property editor


Alternatively you can do this without the dialog box (and from within the 
lesstif or batch HID) using the propset() action:

1. select your element names or elements

2. execute action propset(p/text/scale, 50)


(Please use pcb-rnd from svn for this, the last release still had a bug in 
element-text handling in the property editor)

HTH,

Igor2
