AutoCAD Inventor :: Possible To Modify Default-ISO Text Style?

Jul 22, 2009

I am fed up with constantly changing the colour, justification, font and font size of text in sketches in the part environment. The text style drop down box is greyed out in the part environment so i can't set up a style and just change it.

Where i need to go to change what the default-iso style defaults to? Any registry key change i can use to make the test style drop down box available in the part sketch environment?

3ds Max :: How To Change The Default Text Style

Oct 26, 2011

How do you change the default text style (when creating a text object) in 3dsmax ?

Here is the scoop, I have successfully created attributed 3d objects in Autocad, exploded & convereted the attributes to text objects instantly via coding, then wblocking the text objects, importing them into 3dsmax via the Autocad Legacy importer with the group according to object selected, then in one shot coverted that group to an editable mesh (thus giving me filled in text).

It all works perfectly including text with thickness's, it retains itself as text objects in 3d studio and does not seem to overbloat the 3dsmax file (I typically have about 200 to 250 lines of text per job), this if for commercial interior design where I have many signs and walls with textual information that are the same sign but with different sayings, and also a few incremantal numbered stuff, so much easier to fill in in Autocad, some automatically via coding most as already mad blocks, then it is to do it TWICE, one for the cad drawings, then again for the the renderings.

Anyways, what happens is, the text comes in always ARIAL style, this is what I want to change, things I have tried so far:

1. Drew a text object in 3dsmax before importing, changing the text style to what I want, I said, this has to work, becasue when you go back to the create text dialogue in 3dsmax, the last style used remains as the new default. Imported the cad file, NOPE, Arial again.

2. Then I thought, maybe the actual style name in Autocad was teh problem, so I then renamed the style in autocad the to EXACT name of the Windows font file. Thats it, had to work, NOPE, Arial again.

3. Fruitlessly look in the 3dsmax options dialogue box, no default text style.

4. Tried to figure out how in the world I can select TWO text objects in 3dsmax and get the modify text modify panel so I can change more then one at a time, I dont know how to do that or if it even can be done.

What I need to know is if there is some sort of configuration file that I can edit that will allow me to change the default text style, I find it hard to believe that the word 'Arial' is hard-coded into the 3dsmax software or the Legacy Autocad importer, what if you didn't have that font on your computer ??

I will not have a problem changing that file for each font style I want to import, I will simply in Autocad split apart the different font styles to different layers, then change whatever I need to in 3dsmax then import each group of styles one at a time, no problem. I have already done 3 projects with my system, changing 200 or so text styles in 3dsmax one at a time, this has to end !

AutoCAD 2010 :: Create New Text Style With Text Rotated?

Nov 18, 2013

I wonder if it is possible to create a new text style where one can set the text to be already rotated.

I know that it is possible to rotate text in many ways but the styles always seem to be set on the horizontal to begin with.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Change Default Label Style To Child Style

Jan 2, 2013

I am trying to change the default label styles for AddSegmentLabel under general styles using .NET...

Dim X As Autodesk.Civil.Settings.SettingsCmdAddSegmentLabel = CD.Settings.GetSettings(Of Autodesk.Civil.Settings.SettingsCmdAddSegmentLabel)()

X.Styles.LineLabel.Value = strChildStyleName ... says name does not exist

or

X.Styles.LineLabelStyleId.Value = oidChildStyle ... "The type of objectId is wrong"

If I manually change it to a child style and then check the values, they are the same as what I'm trying to set them to. If you use a "parent" style then these both work. Am I doing something wrong or this another limitation?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Annotative Text Style

May 23, 2011

I am really confused on an Annotative Text style issue. I have a blank drawing and i need to set up an annotative text, dimension and multileader style. So i started with the Text Style.

Now i would like the annotative text size to be 2mm, Arial standard. However whenever i try to do this, it changes my 2mm to 3mm which is not what i am after.

Is there some limitation to the font or is this AutoCAD error or am i just trying to do something odd.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Custom Text Style

Feb 3, 2012

I have some custom texts that I use.  A week or two ago they started showing up looking different and certain symbols like ' weren't showing correctly (they were displaying ? instead).

When I went into Text Style, sure enough the style being used was pointing to a file that either didn't exist or wasn't the proper format.  An example is that my HS text was pointing to the Font Name HS.TTF instead of Helvetica 53 Extended which is installed as one of my Windows Fonts.  When I changed the Font Name to Helvetica 53 Extended everything looked okay again.

My problem is that even after hitting apply to this change and closing the Text Style form when I open a new drawing HS text is set back to HS.TTF and not displaying properly.  How do I go about permanently changing this value back to what it should be, and how did it get changed in the first place?

AutoCAD 2010 :: Change Text Style?

Feb 22, 2012

In the old versions of autoCAD I could select everything in the drawing and use the text style pull-down to select the text style I wanted all of the existing text to be and it would change it when the style was selected. Is there not a way to do this in AutoCAD 2011 without using the quick select feature in the properties dialog box?

I solved the same problem with dimensions by turning the dimension toolbar on but the text toolbar doesn't have the style as an option on it.

AutoCAD 2010 :: How To Change Existing Text Object Style Using Script

Oct 25, 2012

I've wrriten a script that will create custom annotative scales and a new text style.  (It works fine up to that point) The next steps I'm trying to add to the script is to select a text object, set it to the new style, make it annotative and add all of the annotative scales to that text object.  CHPROP allows me to make the text object annotaive but I haven't found a command that will let me change the style or add annotative scales to the text object.  Any commands I can use in a script to do this ? (or know if this is even possible)?  I have 2000+ drawings I need to run this one, I hope I can find the commands to script this with.

AutoCAD 2010 :: Can't Remove Legend Font Style Or Table Style?

Nov 5, 2009

There is a font and table style called "Legend" that is automatically generating and can not be purged.

I have looked through all the start up files, all the lisp files and can't find anything that would be creating them!

They appear in any file I open, new or old and even if I open a template file.

I have attached a file that should be empty but you will (or should) see both a font and table style called "Legend".

(FYI I am running AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010 as AutoCAD 2010)

AutoCAD Inventor :: Object Default Style Change

Jan 17, 2011

I am using Inventor version 2011. I wrote this code which tells me which object defaults style is active

Public Sub ActiveObjectDefaults()

Dim oDocument As DrawingDocument
Set oDocument = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim DrgStMgr As DrawingStylesManager
Set DrgStMgr = oDocument.StylesManager
Dim ObjDfStyle As Style
Set ObjDfStyle = DrgStMgr.ActiveStandardStyle.ActiveObjectDefaults
MsgBox ObjDfStyle.Name
End Sub

Is it possible to change Active Object Defaults Style by VBA code (see picture below)?

I am trying to change Object Defaults in order to temporarily switch style which use layers with different line weights, and than switch it back. I am new to VBA so I am not sure if I am not trying to do something what is impossible.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Default Label Style Doesn't Stick

Jan 4, 2012

Civil 3D 2011, updates installed - I have a user who is manually importing points into his drawing.  He has set the default label style in his command settings to a specific style, but no matter what he does the points come in with the previously set default style (the out-of-the-box label style).  We've tested this in a new drawing with the same results.  We've tested this on several computers with the same results. 

My initial thought was that something on the network was holding this setting somehow.  We disconnected his computer from the network with the same results. 

What could be causing this label style to stick?
