How text style creation works. It appears that I can create a text style in a drawing but it is not session related or Global and I can switch between to Styles within a drawing but not outside within a new drawing. How do you create a Text Style that is available at any time and in any drawing. Is this generaly a system setting that is controlled by an admin.
View 7 RepliesThere used to be a product called Cadmin, that was a very useful tool for changing common elements in a group of door window assembly styles at the same time.
I have a source file with 870 door window assembly styles that I want to modify a division in. The division has the same unique name in all of the assemblies, and I want it to end up the same in all styles. Is there a way to do this that I am not aware of or do I have to select 870 styles individually?
I am looking at moving from controlling my Styles in template files into a Style Library. So how exactly would I best do this? Create a new Style Library in the Style Library Manager, set it in "Style Library 1" (this makes the new Style Library "active", yes?), open my template files, and under the Manage tab, "Save" the document styles to the new Style Library? Should I then delete my Document Styles from the template?
When you get a new release of Inventor, how do you generally go about pushing your Style Library into the new release? Do you just copy-paste the old Style Library from the old release "Design Data" folder into the new release "Design Data" folder? Do you start a new Style Library in the new release, compare to the old Style Library, and push the old into into the new?
I am creating walls so im using mline with mstyle. the problem is when I create the mline for different walls. for example drawing mline for a wall that is 20 units and then moving to a wall that needs to be 30.
is there any way to change the mline style or offset in creation time?
I want to know is there any formula/calculation for the width of text object before creation/insertion? At now I used approximated width size via a simple .
(Defun GetStrWidth (str H W) (fix (*(* H W) (strlen str))));;usage: (GetStrWidth "This is a Text." 2.5 0.8);;H: TextHeight; W: width factor.
I know that for the existed text in drawing I can use textbox command, but for the texts that has not been created, what can I do? Is there any formula/calculation depends on font name, text height and width factor?
Basically, we get documents from other people and we convert those to our formats to do our work. We use a font called Simplex, but sometimes their document is filled with, like, Comic Sans or something stupid.
The match properties command doesn't seem to change font, just size and alignment. When I use the font properties dialog box, I can set simplex as the font, but when I make new text, it still matches their comic sans.
So two questions: How do I change the default font for the document so that all new text is the way I want it?
And is there a LISP routine which will find all text and change the font property and stuff the way I want it? For multi-line and single line text.
Also note, I've tried selecting all the text and editing properties, but font is not one of the properties I can change. To change font, I have to edit every piece of text one by one. And then ONLY multiline text has the properties to change font. I don't even know how to change the font of a single line text object.
I'm attempting to create a wall style that has 2 components, a framed wall and a brick veneer. What I would like to do is have this wall react a certain way when I insert a window. Basically, I don't want the window to cut into the brick veneer, only the framing.
I have attached my attempt so far, and I have not figured out how to get the window to only cut the framed portion.
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)
)
)

Is there any way to lock a text style so that the associated font style can not be changed?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI used the BEDIT command (editor) on my block to modify the text size then save the block editor changes. Then use ATTSYNC to perform the changes on all existing blocks references to resize the texts, but after i complete the ATTSYNC command, the text in all the blocks disappear.

When placing the text of a dimension, it is logical that you can place it anywhere you like. But shouldn't there be a way to choose "centered" or "home" right away, if you want the text centered? I know you can follow up with a second command to do this, but that just isn't efficient.
I've been using the photoshop for a little bit, everything was fine, then like many others i've got it hanging on the "reading global text resources" line. However, i've found the explainations on the adobe site, and several other forums. However, i CANNOT find the file that its telling me to look for. Im currently running a Vista 64bit.
They've said to find it in application settings, however i think on my computer it is program settings, which i found but there is no folder for Photoshop Just Acrobat and Updater.
For some reason my Photoshop CS 8.0 that I have had for years started freezing up and I have uninstalled and reinstalled, looked on C drive for prefs (no file found), tried to delete any new fonts that were uploaded recently (unsure how to locate all of them) and still not able to open and view my files/designs that were save as PSD. I downloaded the CS6 for a free 30 day trial to see if it would open, and yes it opened. if I purchase the CS6 will it freeze up as well? I was unsure if I purchased another version of Photoshop if it would be a waste of money and not open.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWell yesterday, I was using photoshop and everything was just fine but when I tried to open it today it began to freeze after the startup where it tells you what its loading...'Reading Text Global Resources' and i've looked around here in different topics and posts and i tried doing ALT+CTRL+SHIFT but that didnt work at all for me..
the whole thing just stops responding if i try to click into it and now its driving me crazy since I have a template due for a client of mine today!
I need to get the position and orientation of the first and the last character in a text frame art, that is, I need its matrix.There are a number of functions in the API that is supposed; here's a snippet from the file ATESuites.h
Return transformation matrix of this run.The matrix returned spesify the full transformation of the given run. You need to transform the origin by IGlyphRun::GetOrigins() and
concat with ITextFrame::GetMatrix() in order to get the location of the glyphs.
ATEErr (*GetMatrix) ( GlyphRunRef glyphrun, ASRealMatrix* ret);
Hence, getting the matrix of the first character or glyph should look something like this:
AIErr
VMGetFirstTextMatrix( AIArtHandle textArt, AIRealMatrix *matrix)
{
ASRealMatrix frameMatrix, glyphMatrix;
ASRealPoint firstPoint;
try
{
[code]....
But the coordinates, either returned in frameMatrix (tx and ty) or the firstPoint are obviously wrong. It appears that they an offset which is allmost constant. The x-values are approx 7664 points too large (give and take a few decimals), and the y-values are approx 7893 too large (also give and take a few decimals).
I have been using Photoshop.
I went to load Photoshop and for some reason it stops loading at the opening screen at the: Reading Text Global Resources...Done.
It will just stop until I click the X to close the program, I have Window check for a solution, then it closes?

View 3 Replies View RelatedFor labels, is the font decided in the general tab under text style or in the text component editor under the format tab? Are there overrides? There seems to be multiple locations for fonts choices when creating a label and I can't find a nice black and white answer.

I like using the edit label text in the lable styles to add additional text and information.
I can turn on / off the backroung mask for all the style but not each.
Is there a way to turn on / off the backround mask of each layout text.
I'm using civil 3d 2012 and testing 2013.
I have inside every text,Mtext contents different text style like Arial_1 , Arial_2.
How i can give all the contents inside one style ? the normal procedure i will enter inside text to enter editing mode and changing text format style one by one. I want it once.
I want to save my routing of entering every text to change its content text style.
(Notice:select all from outside without editing mode will not do the job)
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.

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 RelatedI created two projects for a dance performance:
Project A was for the first half. It had 2 video tracks, an audio track, and a text track.
Project B had 2 video tracks an audio track & a text track.
I opened VideoStudio 5 with no project loaded.
I then went into share mode & picked generate a DVD
I then loaded project A & then loaded project B
I built a main menu which had links for project A & B
I built a "sub" menu for project A
I built a "sub" menu for project B.
I then previewed (via the DVD preview option in the SHARE step of videostudio) all menu choices. Project A & Project B played perfectly meaning that ALL tracks played at the proper time.
I then generated an actual DVD and an iso file.
I saved the project file that was used to generate the DVD.
When I played the DVD all of the effects and tracks worked for the project A material. However, only the main video track played for the project B material. In other words the overlay video track & the text tracks were ignored. I created another DVD from the iso with the same "bogus" results.
I then opened the the project that was used to generate the DVD. I went to share ... generate DVD ... preview project B worked perfectly (i.e. it utilized the overlay and text tracks).
In other words the generated DVD didn't include the video overlay & text tracks for project B. Yet when you preview it inside of VideoStudio share dvd preview the overlay track & text appears.
I have since generated a video only file for project B & the overlay & text tracks are there.
I assumed that you could import 2 vsp projects into one project during the share step when you create a DVD. Is this the problem? Or is there a bug in VideoStudio pro 5?
Before I describe this problem I do want to assure you I did poke around the forum and FAQ beforehand.
My problem is that I open a new creation(RGB or Bitmap) and create a text layer. When I do this I find that the cursor is EXTREMELY tiny. The text isnt even readable on size 72. I first noticed the problem yesterday when I was trying to create a new sig with an edited image I previously created. I've never had this problem before but I am still pretty new to this. Code:
I am trying to set the text style of a DB Text object.
The following code fails when it gets to the line where I try to set the text style (this is done using VB.NET 4.0 and AutoCAD 2012 64-bit).
Error reads as follows:
Method not found: 'Void
Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.DBText.set_TextStyle
(Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.ObjectId)'.
Dim acDoc As Document = Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices.Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument
[code].......
When I type the TEXT command, even in a new (empty) drawing, I get the error message "The current text style is not valid" in reference to the <STANDARD> style.
This happens randomly when AutoCAD is started the first time after the computer is turned on, but If I close and reopen Autocad, the error always appears.
AutoCAD is updated to SP1.
PublicSharedSub CreateTextStyle(ByVal TextStyleName AsString, ByVal FontFileName AsString, ByVal OblAng AsDouble)
Dim DataB AsDatabase = Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Database
Dim MyTransaction AsTransaction = DataB.TransactionManager.StartTransaction()
Try
Dim MyBlockTable AsBlockTable = MyTransaction.GetObject(DataB.BlockTableId, OpenMode.ForRead)
Dim MyBlockTableRecord AsBlockTableRecord = MyTransaction.GetObject(MyBlockTable(BlockTableRecord.ModelSpace), OpenMode.ForWrite)
Dim MyTextStyleTable AsTextStyleTable = MyTransaction.GetObject(DataB.TextStyleTableId, OpenMode.ForRead)

and i call it from sub:
Call CreateTextStyle("330", "romans.shx", DTR(330))
but error comes up
at Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.Transaction.GetObject(ObjectId id, OpenMode mode, Boolean openErased, Boolean forceOpenOnLockedLayer)
How do you set the text style for cells in a table? I used to be able to set the title row, head row and data row text style in vba. In vb.net I tried using <tablestyle>.SetTextStyle but it is asking me for an ID.
