AutoCAD Architecture :: Mtext Default Text Size
Aug 26, 2013Is there a way to set the default text size when using mtext with an annotative text style?
I have an annotative text style I use for everything. I have the height set to 0 in the style. In MTEXT the height always defaults to 1/4" which I never use. Is there a way to make it default to 1/8" text? It is annoying to have to have to change it every single time I use mtext.
The height is usually the paper text height but sometimes within a viewport the height is the model space height instead of the paper height. I don't know why it is different in some viewports but I would like to have it consistant.

View 6 Replies View RelatedAutoCad :: Change Justification Of Leader Of Multileader Text?
Jan 10, 2012I don't normally deal with multileaders with text although a drawing I have has been done with these.
The leader is justified to the left of the text. If I drag the position of the leader head to the right hand side of the text, the leader still starts from the left hand side of the text (goes at the bottom of the text) so how would I justify the leader position of a multileader to the right hand side of the text?
I had a quick look in the properties pane earlier although am fairly busy and it is only a trivial issue.
AutoCAD 2010 :: Leader Text Attachment Results In Leader Through Text?
Sep 13, 2013Ok, I'm sure there is a very simple way to fix this that I just haven't yet discovered. When I insert a stacked dimension in the top line of my leader text, the spacing gets automatically adjusted for the hight of the stacked dimension and it adjusts the leader line up so that it actually passes through my top line. Can this be avoided? I have attached a picture for reference.

AutoCad 2D :: How To Change Text Size In MText
Mar 31, 2011I am having issues with text size when I attempt to change the text size in MTEXT. It is set to copy the last size I used but when I need to edit the size, it multiplies what I enter by 8 and turns inches into feet. In other words, I try to resize 6" to 3". The text editor will then multiply 3" x 8 and size the text to 24 feet.

AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Border / Leader / Mtext Lineweight / StationOffset Label Versus Multileader
Mar 21, 2012I have dragged station offset and multileaders next to each other in the drawing. Everything is set to go on the same layer. I am using named (stb) plot styles. The layer's lineweight is set to .25mm. However, I usually make the leaders be lighter in weight - .13mm. I am using text borders on both of these objects.
I can't get both the text and border to be the same in both objects unless I set everything to Bylayer. Given that I want lightweight leaders, and heavier text, this is unnacceptable.
It seems that the StaOff label style text and border weight in DRAGGED state are controlled by one lineweight setting.
In a multi leader, the text weight is always, apparently, Bylayer, and the text border is controlled by the lineweight set for the leader.

AutoCad :: Insert Text With TEXT Or MTEXT Command The Text Is Displayed Mirrored
Apr 9, 2012When I insert text with either the TEXT command or MTEXT command, the text is displayed mirrored. This doesn't seem to have anything to do with the MIRRTEXT variable because that is used when I'm actually mirroring the text. In my case, the text is mirrored as soon as I insert it. How can I get it back to normal? Is there a variable I'm missing?

3ds Max :: How To Change The Default Text Style
Oct 26, 2011How 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 !

Feb 27, 2014My work involves importing in new documents and formating them correctly. We have a specific font style that is different than the original font. Illustrator cannot read those fonts, so it defaults to Myriad Pro in the original text size. Since it is changing it from Myriad Pro to Arial, I don't really have a problem with the global change that this would have.
I already have the [Character Styles] options set up for a template, but this does not work on new documents.
We are on Windows 7 with CS6.
