I have a custom text style set to a height of 3/32"
I have a custom mleader style set to mtext with text set to that style.
The text height setting in the mleader style dialog is 3/32" and grayed out.
Why create an option and then block us from using it?

Why some Mtext rotates when I double click on it to edit it in AutoCad LT 2013?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI need to assign a font when creating my mText and don't know how. I'm working in AutoCAD 2009 .net api.
View 0 Replies View RelatedWhenever I enter the MTEXT editing function, then type a letter on any given line of text, that line rotates to the world UCS. This makes typing almost impossible, as the overlapping text can't be read clearly.
I'm using AutoCAD 2013 for Mac and looking at my drawing with a rotated UCS.
Is there a way to change multiple MTexts at once to a certain font? I don't have the full version, only AutoCAD LT 2013 so unfortunately I don't have the fancy express tools or lisps.
I have at least 1000 MTexts that need to be changed. This will take a long time if I have to activate each one and change them individually.
I have mtext in several drawings that contains an error that'd I'd like to fix using Lisp. An example of what this text should look like is:
NOTE:
SEE DRAWING XXXX FOR DRIVE DETAILS
The fist problem is that all of the text after the note has a width factor of 0.1 and is all squished together. The second problem is that the text height of the title (the "NOTE:" part) is supposed to be larger than the actual note (the "SEE DRAWING XXXX FOR DRIVE DETAILS" PART). Is there a way to fix this using lisp? I had a lisp in progress (not done) which is:
(IF
(SETQ SSET (SSGET "X" '((0 . "MTEXT"))))
(PROGN
(SETQ COUNT -1)
(WHILE (< (SETQ COUNT (1+ COUNT)) (SSLENGTH SS))
(SETQ ENTDATA (ENTGET (SSNAME SSET COUNT)))
(SETQ ENTTEXT (CDR (ASSOC 1 ENTDATA)))
(ENTMOD (SUBST (CONS 1 (STRCAT "{\W1;" ENTTEXT "}")) (ASSOC 1 ENTDATA) ENTDATA))
The last line has no effect on the width factor of the note.
This is the entdata for this particular piece of mtext (they aren't all the same):
((-1 . <Entity name: 7ffff79ce50>) (0 . "MTEXT") (330 . <Entity name:
7ffffb069f0>) (5 . "392FD") (100 . "AcDbEntity") (67 . 0) (410 . "Model") (8 .
"5") (100 . "AcDbMText") (10 676.276 751.03 0.0) (40 . 3.008) (41 . 0.0) (46 .

sent drawing out to vendor, received back drawing where they had changed the width factor to .75. is there a way to globally edit all these mtext entities?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a detail section of millwork ... and some of the text is bold and some are not. But the weird thing is that all the text is from the same style, none of the text is bold and they are all the same size. So why are some bold and some not? See attached, running Autocad Architecture 2011 on XP 64.
View 9 Replies View RelatedEvery so often, and I have not been able to determine common cause, when editing mtext in the default mtext editor the text in the editor will display as some other font - handletter, TXT, whatever - something other than the Romans I typically use. And both the style and the font are set to Romans. When I finish editing, the final text in the drawing is correct, so it is more an annoyance than anything.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen using TEXT or DTEXT I can add centerline, 1/4, or 1/2 symbols while using the ROMANS font.
It would make sense to me that when I am using MTEXT, this should apply. However when I try to insert the symbols this is what happens: My text style stays the same, but the font gets changed to ISOCPEUR and symbols have a bold type appearance.
In 2008, one could create some Mtext using a type font named ISOCPEUR and type of line of text. One could then go to the Express Tools/text/explode text function. That would explode the text and one could then manipulate it so that one had a bunch of letters that were polylines. One could then extrude the polylines and either add or subtract them from a solid and create either recessed or proud lettering on a part. That meant you could mark a casting or a molded part just like in the real world.
But in the fully advanced, super dooper, state-of-the-art, fantasmagorical (sp) AutoCAD 2013, if one goes to Express Tools and selects the explode function, the command TXTEXP is not recognized as a valid command.
I have 26000 mtext that has overridden font inside the property. set to bold and print out look like crap.
see attached i want all the text to look like the text on the left. right is what they look like now. i just copied a few as an example.
can't find the font property in the mtext object:

Fatal Errors when editing large amounts of MText? I usually have to insert a good amount of drawing notes that we keep in word documents on our network and i find that the process of editing them causes me to Fatal Error when trying even the simplest edit, like erasing a sentence or changing a name.
How to edit the document in word before copy/pasting it into CAD, but the documents are locked for editing as is our standard practice for the general notes that we use.
I am going to make a dummy drawing in hopes of making my changes in an empty drawing, (although I strongly feel this is not a file size issue but a word to CAD translation issue).
If it is possible to change the default font used when inserting a symbol in mtext. e.g. the centerline symbol.
At the moment the font used is isocpeur and I would like it to be Romans.
I click to edit the text on screen it will change it to another font. It's not doing this every time but pretty often.

The dwg was fine, then it crashed while changing from modle space to paper space...
When i recovered the dwg, EVERY MTEXT I try to edit becomes rotated vertically and stays that way when i close the edit box...
I do not recall hitting any buttons or making any keystrokes without my knowing...
Is there a way to get my text back to Horizontal and stay that way?

NONE of these options changed anything.

After opening a .jpeg file, I'd like to add text. No problem adding text. The problem is editing the text. Apparently, PhotoShop Elements 10 gets stuck on one font. And it can't be changed. When clicking on the down arrow (to change the font), the User Interface "jumps" up and down. But, the font won't change. I am able to change the color of the text, but not the font. I checked my System and there's no problems. I even did a Virus scan...none found. Is there a setting from within
PhotoShop Elements 10 that I'd be able to import the fonts on my System ?
My System : Windows 7 Professional / 32-bit and 3 Gb RAM.
I have an existing font I I want to chop and change about eight characters of the font. The changes I need to make are very small slight change to the stand of the A.
I'm very new to corel draw - I have tried reading the tut's on creating your own font but I think it is a little overkill for me needs.
Can I convert an existing font to curves do the slight changes then export it as a TTF ?
I've been trying to edit a certain Corel Draw document. At first it told me I was missing a font. So I closed the Corel Draw and installed the missing font.
But now its not showing the new font in the document. I see the new font in the control panel. And i can type a new text box. But I have 60 pages or so and I dont want to retype all these text boxes.
In GIMP 2.8, I'm having an issue with font settings not sticking with copied layers.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Click the text tool, then click the canvas.
2. Type the word "Cow".
3. Double Click the word "Cow" and set it to a fancy font, pink, and 24pt.
4. Select the "Cow" text layer and duplicate it.
5. Move the duplicated layer down. You now have two "Cow" layers in a pink, fancy, 24pt font.
6. Double click the word "cow" in the copied layer to highlight the word "Cow".
7. Type "Chicken" over the word "Cow"
Expected result:
The text is now "Chicken" in a fancy, pink, 24pt font.
Actual result:
The text is now "Chicken" in the default font.
In order to keep the font you want, you have to insert the new text after the first letter of the existing word. ie: "CChickenow", then remove the extra "ow" from the end, then remove the "C" from the beginning. This is very tedious and frustrating.
I am aware that you can set a default font to whatever you want (except making it bold by default?). But, if I copy a layer and type over it, it's because I wanted to copy the appearance of the layer, not start over with a new one. Is there a setting I can change? Or is this a known issue with text editing in 2.8?
how to apply a filter to a Floor Plan to color code my Walls by Unconnected Height for coordination purposes?
I want to disseminate which walls are currently modeled to deck and which ones stop short so I can selectively coordinate this.
This seems completely logical, but I don't see the option to allow this.
Why does Revit allow me to schedule the Length of a Wall, but not it's Height - am I missing something?
