AutoCAD 2013 :: Unable To Delete Text Style
Jul 1, 2013
I`m working on this architecture project and copied some clean lines to the file from a landscape design project.
Somehow these text styles showed up to my file (more than 50 text styles from xrefs, because of their strange names, even though I don`t have any attachment). And it says that I cannot delete them cause I`m using it.
I`ve tried out everything I could imagine and read about it. It doesn`t work. Now this simple .dwg file is very heavy and with a lot of unwanted text styles. Even if I try to copy just the lines to start over another file, all the text styles go together.
Tried:
PURGE
AUDIT
RECOVER
WBLOCK
TXTMRG (not sure how to use it)
QTEXTMODE
Attached is one of the files that this happened to. As I`m working with a few attachments this happened to all of it. My default text style are "B3_1.5", "B3_2.0" and "B3_3.0". All the other are unwanted text styles.

I am using 2013LT. It crushed yesterday. Today when I opened my drgs. I can not edit text, delete anything. I also have noticed that menu under right click does not have the same options as before ie. block edit is not there and so on. I have opened differend dwg ones that I wasn't working on when it crushed and the same thing happed.
I opened my drawings with 2012LT and everything works fine.

Cannot delete label style component. This is for line annotation labels.
I created a child BRG-ONLY from a BRG-DIST and it will not allow me to delete the distance component. The red X is faded and not clickable.
This is my second day with a new company, and when somebody else created a similar child style apparently they could not either. The just made the distance component invisible... which I guess works almost as well.
How would I be able to pick a specific component to make sure I can delete it?

I cannot purge a textstyle out of my drawing. When I run purge nothing is available.
However if I select the style from the style dialog I am able to select delete and delete the style.
When I use the method on the style (vlax-invoke-method style 'Delete). AutoCAD states:
Automation Error. Object is referenced by other object(s)
The style is defenatly not in use but may have been used in the past.

We are using AutoCAD 2013 and our client is using Mechanical Desktop 2009 ,problem we are facing is that we are unable to see the object which they see in the same drawing by giving visible command. These unwanted objects remains even after purging the drawing and we are unable to delete at our end as we cannot see them because there is no such command like visible in AutoCAD.

I have to go up to cut and select the object to delete. Also when I click on text the edit dialogue box doesn't come up. I have to go to properties to edit.

Text style has no room to specify the lineweight!
I’m wondering why the “text style” has no option to specify the lineweight.

I am trying to set up a standard text style converter for multiple companies (32 in all). All are using the same style names, but they change the fonts for their preferences.
What I am trying to do is come up with a tool pallete / tool bar macro to change all styles in a drawing to the new fonts they choose.
Here is my string: ^C^C-STYLE;TITLE-1;COMIC SANS MS;;;;;;;
What am I missing so the spaces in the font name are not read as ENTER in the command? I have tried <font here>, 'font here', "font here", <font here>, (font here)
If there is an easier way other than copy and paste into a new template with them defined.

I got this weird issue when placing my custom made titleblocks in AutoCAD. All the attributes of the block jump to standard text style when placing it in my drawing. Allthough this ain't allways happening. It seems to me like there's a setting for this but i can't find out how.
It can happen suddenly too. Like when i open a new drawing and then add my titleblock, it's like it should be most of the times. Allthough when i start to edit the block (scale/move/copy,etc) it can change like you can see in the drawing below.
Offcourse, as a company, you do not want to deliver your drawings with a titleblock like this.

I need to start doing shaped glass drawings for our new glass supplier who insists everything is viewed from outside. Unfortunately all our drawings are viewed from inside and I don't want my team to be responsible for copying and flipping glass details in case they forget to flip one day.
I can obviously mirror the viewport view by clicking View/Views/Bottom but this is also mirroring any text dimensions, even though my Mirrtext preference is set to 0.
Is there a way to set a dimension style where the text is automatically back to front so it will then appear the right way round in that particular viewport. How to get round this problem without duplicating parts that can then get missed at a later date and not amended?
This needs to work in both AutoCAD 2014 and AutoCAD LT 2014 as we run a mixture in our office.

I am trying to get DText objects to update width factor when I change the Width Factor of the Text Style. We have one style (Simplex) & I hoped to be able to set the width factor of that style to 0.8 or 1.2 depending on what is required and then just insert objects from the tool palette so they have the correct width factor.
This seems to work for MText but not for DText or Attributes. Short of using lisp is there a to update the width factor of DText & Attributes? (hoping to be able to do this on LT also)
Only way I can see for DText is to qselect text and change style to something else and back to Simplex. Only way for attributes I've found is to advance edit block and change text style to something else and back.

I am looking for a way to change the text style used by a table style with Visual LISP. So far I have been able to get the IAcadTableStyle object from the acad_tablestyle dictionary, but there is no property for text style. Is this even possible? Code and results are below.
(defun DumpTableStyles ()
(setq dict (vla-get-dictionaries (vla-get-activedocument(vlax-get-acad-object))))
(setq TableStyles (vla-item dict "acad_tablestyle"))
(vlax-for TableStyle TableStyles
(vlax-dump-object TableStyle)
)
)

I added sever materials to the Style Library and after I was done I noticed that one of the Style names had a typo in it. When I tried to "RENAME" the style it made a new style with the correct name but kept the old style with the incorrect name. I cannot get rid of the incorrect material style. There is no delete available on the "right click" menu and purging doesn't actually seem to do anything when I try to purge it.
I want to delete it from the Style Library so it no longer appears in the material list that is available. How do I do this?

I use previous drawings to continue with new jobs.
so... I started to use defpoints as the layer for the the viewing window. This is so it doesn''t print out. However to make new sheets I copy and paste new sheets. The problem is I cannot delete the viewpoints as it in Defpoints and becomes invisible in Paper space. How can I delete one window?

There's a layer in the drawing we received from the surveyor that doesn't match the client's standards. When I try to merge it with another layer or delete the layer, the command stops as soon as I pick a line on the layer. There are no objects visible on the layer so it may part of a style. I don't think it's part of a block as the surveyor used the client's blocks.

I just downloaded AutoCAD 2012 on my imac running on my Parallels system, meaning I have the Windows version or AutoCAD 2012 running on parallels. (Because there are too many problems with AutoCAD for mac).
There is one problem however, I cannot delete by using 'backspace' on my mac keyboard. I always have to right click the selected object and go to erase. Does there exist a keyboard shortcut for erase?

I am unable to save any changes to my style & standards for Inventor lt suite 2014.
Is this meant to be as indicated by the wikihelp (Save styles to the library in the Style Library Manager), or have i got something installed wrong.

Something that's been driving me around the bend lately. I have a drawing, with a viewport which I cannot select. I have unfrozen all layers, ticked the 'Selection Cycling' box, but no lines show. It's just there, a viewport, but with no viewport polyline. No way of deleting, or clipping, or doing anything with it.

I have a sketch reference that is giving a cross part failure error. I am unable to select the reference in the browser so I cant delete it or update it.
How to get rid of it. Deleting the sketch and starting again will be a disaster.

I'm trying to add rows above rows in the middle of a table. The options under Rows are all grey/not available. The last row will allow me to add a row below and the top row will allow me to add a row above. I'm unable to Delete rows, too. The table is not listed as locked or anything. Aside from retyping the table, is there something I need to do to be able to edit the table?
