Font sizes in BIDS
A feature that is perhaps a little difficult to find in the BI Dev. Studio is how to modify the size and style of the font used for displaying the names and other text.
- You can change the font size by selecting Tools | Options and under the environment tab in the Options dialog, select Fonts and Colors.
- In the Show settings for combo box, select Business Intelligence Designers.
- Change the size of text with the Size combo box.
If you're struggling with package formatting, this may help.
Also, another semi-hidden feature in the designer is the ability to “auto-connect” component as you double click on it in the toolbox. In the same dialog, select the Business Intelligence Designers tab and select the Data Transformation Designers node. Those settings allow you to automatically connect the new task/transform to the existing selected task/transform.
Note also the Package Signing node there. That's a whole 'nother blog...
