Text height doesn't update |
|
|
Hi,
I have a problem with my text styles in autocad.
If I modify the height of the text in the text style dialog and then
click apply, nothing happens. If I try to change the font, it is
updated allover the drawing, but it doesn't work with the height wich
is very annoying.
(I'm using TT fonts).
Is there something I'm missing, or some system variable I should check
?
Thanks.

What version of ACAD are you using?

Ah! Can't help you with that. Has many more text options than my old R14!

Karim,
As far as I know AutoCAD has always worked that way regarding text styles. Changes to a style's font will affect previously placed text, but not text height changes. This allows you to place different height text using the same style. To change height of previously placed text, use "properties" or "scale". |

Changing the text height will not effect the height of prevously placed
text.
For example, If you use Standard textstyle having Times New Roman font and a
height of 9", all text entered will be 9" high Times New Roman. If you
modify the textstyle to 12", all text entered thereafter will be 12" high
Times New Roman. All 9" text entered before the change will remain at 9".
Modifiying the textstyle to Arial will change all the text to Arial but none
of the existing heights will change.
To change all the text to a new height you must select the text and enter
the new size in the properties dialog box.
For what it is worth, I seldom assign a height to a textstyle.

For multiple inserts, you can use my BSCALE lisp routine which will scale
all the text relative to their individual insertions, preserving their
position to some extent, where a simple SCALE would probably move many of
them to far. (it's on my site)

As an added tip, once you've created a text block to your liking, copy its
attributes to existing text objects with the Copy Attributes tool (looks
like a paintbrush).

2005 has the scale text command. You can scale multiple text objects and it
will maintain the insertion locations and justifications.

Yes, that is actually the method I was using. But as it is
tedious on large drawings with lot of text I thought I could ease the
pain by using text styles, thinking they work prety much like in word
:) Too bad to see it is not the case.
Anyway, thanks a lot for your help. I'll try some of your tips to see
wich best work for me.

You can use FILTER to quickly create your selection set for whatever method
you choose.

That's AutoDesk for ya. They make a big deal out of "new" features when, as
you wrote, many have been solved already. I couldn't believe how they hyped
the multiple copy command and a fillet command that wouldn't exit after one
fillet.
