How to make a macro that changes the font for a specific Text Style. The name of the Text Style is eg. "3mm", which I want to change from RomanS to Verdana.
I converted a DXF file to a Corel Designer file. This DXF file also has some dimensions which turned into paragraph text. This paragraph text is turned by 90 degrees. The font size is rather small, so I increased it by some points. As the paragraph text frames were now too small, I tried to increase their size. However, the text frames always jump back to their original size.
I experimented a little bit and noticed that this is only, if the text is turned by 90 or 270 degrees. If the text frame is not turned or turned by 180 degrees, you can change the size of the text frame. Additionally this problem arises only, if the option "Expand and shrink paragraph text frames to fit text" is activated (in Tools | Options | Workspace | Text). Sometimes some text frames were adapted automatically, when I changed this option. However, I do not know when which text frame was changed.

Is there a easy way to change a style of previous drawn text in AutoCAD 2008. Years ago I though there was a lisp routine by Autodesk for that.
View 5 Replies View RelatedIn 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.
Is there a way to change the text styles, lets say from "Standard" to "Romans", all at once within an attributed block, or do you have to update each tag attribute individually?

I could find anything in: Modify Dimension Style
Where should I change this angle?
How do I edit line types? whenever I copy this particular existing line type into the other drawing the text style changes. There is no way of editing it when I go to the line's properties. I want to change the line type's Text style.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have some text elements for a certain style that are too big. So I want to change them. I can of course use quick select and then set the height, but I'm wondering if there's a way to change the style and have it apply to all text with that style. When I try to modify the style nothing is changed in the drawing. Perhaps texts have the height override that of the style? If so, how do I set to default?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'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.

One annoying thing is that the Visio drawings got Arial as text style and my company want everything in their own textstyle. So at the moment I single click all text bar and change the style, there must be a faster way to fix this.

View 6 Replies View Relatedim my current coding project im attempting to change the font stlye of 1 text item
i tried used the simple method of
[code]
(command "STYLE" "simplex" "ARIAL" "" "" "" "" "")
[/code]
however, using this changes the text's font in the whole drawing
i searched the forums here and everything i found either didnt work or changed all the text.
is there a more elegant way of doing this with just a selected text item and not the text in the whole drawing?

View 4 Replies View RelatedHow 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 !
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.
I declared a BOM as "indivisible" when I converted an assembly to a welded assembly and currently I need to show the BOM as "Only parts" to insert it in a drawing. There is any way to convert the BOM style?

We have a project for re-design and manufacture here (Australia) of a machine that has been designed and detailed in one of our US offices. For this reason, we will be wanting all dimensions in mm etc, rather than inch.
My intention is to open the idw(s), update the styles library (done, i think...), change the active standard to "AS Metric" (got the code sorted for that too), and then change all dimensions to AS Metric.
So far i have each of these 3 processes in a different sub, called from a master. But my problem is in changing the style. I could change a dimension's style to match that of another existing style:
Set oGeneralDimensions = oSheet.DrawingDimensions.GeneralDimensions.Item(1)
but I am having trouble setting is to the active style.
My module:
Sub ChangeStyle()
Dim oIDWDoc As DrawingDocument
Set oIDWDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
Dim oSheet As Sheet
Dim oDim As DrawingDimension
Dim oDimStyle As DrawingStandardStyle
Dim oGeneralDimensions As GeneralDimension

Below are 2 rules that run in succession to create and save a parts list from a base view in a drawing.
I am now trying to set the parts list style to a custom style, ideally while creating the list.
Also, I have to manually go into the list to turn off visibility of certain items (based on material), does I can do this with Ilogic? I ask because these steps precede a rule that automates placing base views of all parts in the parts list. If I could get the style and visibility right, I could automate the entire process.
Looking for changing such a style with ilogic?

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?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm doing subtitles for a documentary, and find myself wanting to change the font style in many clips at times. I know, I could start with a prefect template and copy that one over sequences, but in practice I find that you end up changing your mind mid-way about the specifics.
Coming from FCP, I remember there was a way to do this via an XML readout of the sequence (doing a "find and replace" query). Is there anything similar in PP? Or maybe even easier? An extension?
Anything that let me avoid clicking on hundreds of clips to change the style individually.
Any way to change the "View" of parts on file open? When I open an .ipt or .iam the Visual style view is always "Shaded". I want this to be "Shaded with Edges".
