managing text in dimensions |
|
|
How does the text style manager work in relation to the dimension style
manager 'text' tab? It would be logical to me if they worked as follows:
1. you create a text style in text style manager with a given font and font
size.
2. You go to the dimension style magager
3. modify a given dimension style (for instance let it be the standard
default style)
4. go to the text tab and choose the text style you created in step 1.
5. that should be all you have to do.
If your dimension you created, whether it be a leader, a linear dim, or
whatever, uses that dimension style (with the chosen text style in the text
tab), it will have the text font and size you created in the text style
manager.
Anyone know how it works, because this does not seem to be the case..

Since you did not explain what did not work in the manner you expected my
response may not apply.
If you give your text style a size/height such as 9" or 228mm, the dimension
text will be that specified size. If you expect the text to be sized
proportional to the scale you are using then the text size must be set to 0
(zero).

OK; I think I got it:
So the Text style manager is like an override for any text based operation
you perform next (unless it's size is set to 0), Whether it be text in a
quick leader, or Multi line text or whatever.
