AutoCAD .NET :: Creating New Text Style In Current Database

Nov 26, 2012

I want to programatically create a text style in the current database based on a font located in the AutoCAD /fonts folder. After that, I want to assign that text style to a newly created DBText.

I am close but can't quite get it. Let's see what I have:

I still got errors and left it as comment.
 
using (Transaction newTransaction = newDoc.Database.TransactionManager.StartTransaction()){ TextStyleTable newTextStyleTable = newTransaction.GetObject(newDoc.Database.TextStyleTableId, OpenMode.ForRead) as TextStyleTable; if (!newTextStyleTable.Has("ROMANS")) //The TextStyle is currently not in the database { newTextStyleTable.UpgradeOpen(); newTextStyleTableRecord = new TextStyleTableRecord(); newTextStyleTableRecord.FileName = "romans.shx";
[code].........

I get key not found error. Do i have to lock the document?

AutoCAD Architecture :: Schedule Tag - From Ribbon Bar - Uses Current Text Style / Font

Nov 1, 2013

We're transitioning from ACA2012 to ACA2014.  I'm also trying to get away from putting my blocks in DesignCenter and having our users insert Annotation (tags) from the Ribbon bar.

When I insert our door tag (or any schedule tag) from the ribbon bar, it is automatically changing the text style to the current text style.  I'd rather it just use the style built into the tag.  I know that can be controlled in the Designcenter content (right-click) - but how do I change that from the ribbon bar?

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 2D :: Update All Text Elements After Change Of Style

Aug 5, 2012

I 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?

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.

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 !

Premiere Pro :: Change Font Style In Multiple Text Clips

Jan 6, 2014

I'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.

AutoCad 2D :: When Change Justification Of Text The Insert Snap Of Text Stays Fixed But Changes Position

Jun 22, 2011

in Autocad when you change the justification of text the insert snap of the text stays fixed and the text changes position around this point.

Using the JUSTIFYTEXT command you can change the justification of the text without changing its position. However this command is operated through the command bar of dynamic input. What I would like to do is to have the justification change in the quick properties this way.
