View 5 RepliesI am working on creating various standard sized window elevations using dynamic blocks. Each window elevation needs to have text underneath it that tells you the unit size of the window. While I have successfully created all the various elevations using dynamic blocks I can't figure out how to make the text appear to change with the various window unit sizes. for instance I have a small window that has text underneath showing 1818 (18"wide x 18"high). I need text to change to say 1820, 1824, 1830, etc. I can get the 1818 text to stay centered under the elevation as the window gets wider/higher but that is it.

Entering sizes in the text boxes does not change the object size anymore.
The only option right now is use the transform size docker...would rather not have to do that.
Also, would not like to hit F8...
Draw X5 sp2 (15.2.0.661)
I hate pressing F8 at startup!
When I long click to select an alternate tool, the flyout freezes for a few seconds before I can select a tool.
How can I fix this? My only work around right now is to know the tool shortcut and then to cycle through it with shift+tool shortcut.

Trying to change the printable area of custom paper sizes?
I've plotter that allows me to create 5 custom paper sizes for each pc3 file, however after create them, i cant always access to change their printable area, you know adjusting their margins, and the strange thing is that this error doesn’t happen all the time,sometimes after a while trying they work, but just for a couple of times, after that the problem remains.

To be more clear, you can see on the image that it doesn’t recognize the custom paper size i have selected, however it works from time to time, allowing me to edit those margins, and after save them, they work just fine and i can use those paper sizes with no problems.
I've tried to edit the pc3 file through windows, and a message appears saying that an unknown error has occurred.

View 2 Replies View RelatedThis is about Brush sizes. Here is an example. If I select the Paintbrush tool and select a size of 300 pixels and 100% hardness. The "Circle" that represents the brush is approximately 600 pixels in diameter. Almost twice the size of the actual colour that I want to apply. It makes it very difficult to be precise. Is this a glitch or is there a setting somewhere that I can't find.

Even if I move the mouse outside of the text area, pressing "v" on the keyboard adds the "v" character to the text area. Do I need to click on the Move icon on the panel to escape the Text mode?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am trying to load multiple Text Sizes into AutoCAD Civil 3D 2012 so that I can have a list of the standard text sizes (3/32", 3/16", 1/4", 3/8") to choose from the Annotation tab > Text Group > Annotation Text Height drop down list, instead of having to type them in each time.
At first I thought that I could just add the different text sizes using the TEXTSIZE variable command into my drawing template file, but apparently the Text Sizes entered are only retained for that particular session of AutoCAD Civil 3D. Is there perhaps some other system variable that controls this setting being retained for more than one session??
Then I thought I could just create a program to load the sizes. I originally tried creating a C# .NET program to load the text sizes, but ran into a problem. I then I tried creating another version of a C# program, as well as an AutoLISP script, thinking that it was perhaps some limitation to my approach (which still may be the case). But I still keep running into the same problem. The problem is that only the last text size specified is actually entered into the list of available text sizes. The other text size values appear to be processed but are not retained in the Annotation Text Height drop down list.
The following is my first attempt with C#:
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.ApplicationServices;
using Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime;
public class CreateTextSizes : Autodesk.AutoCAD.Runtime.IExtensionApplication
{
public void Initialize()
{
// Create following Text Sizes: 0.09375 (3/32"), 0.1975 (3/16"), 0.25 (1/4"), 0.375 (3/8")
[code].....
The following is my attempt with AutoLISP:
(defun c:LOADTEXTSIZES()
(Command "TEXTSIZE" 0.09375)
(Command "TEXTSIZE" 0.1975)
(Command "TEXTSIZE" 0.025)
(Command "TEXTSIZE" 0.375)
(Command "TEXTSIZE" 0.09375)
)
We have a client whom insists on 1/8" text and my blocks are all sized for 3/32". What I wanted to do is create two visibility states for the block. One using the 1/8" text and one using the 3/32" and be able to switch between them. I can get the border of the tag to work, but the text doesn't switch sizes.
Is this even possible? Is there a better way to deal with all my tags and needing to have two different versions of them? (Tags such as fixture tags, note tags, etc...)
Is there a key I can press that will change my cursor from the pointer to the text writing tool?

This is what I do;
1. Select the text
2. Using the eye dropper tool i click on an object (lets say a square) filled object with a different colour. (no stroke) - Now I expect that the text will change to the squares colour but it does not.
The eye dropper will pick up and change its font/colour if i select other text but not other objects. I have opened the eye dropper preferences and EVERYTHING is ticked in both picks up and applies.

Is there a way to have VARIABLE text size AND BLOCK SIZE autocad 2012, for different scales sizes? To sum it up I am running 1/8th scale on some of the pages in the set with a 1/4 blow up section. I use addressable devices so it is a lot of work to change all the text Is there anything that will auto-update the text size per scale with out having to go through my drawing and repeat all the text and VPfreeze it?
View 9 Replies View RelatedEnter 2-3 lines of text either artistic text or paragraph text. Select and change the font for the first line only. Lets say you typed in the sample text using the Arial font and then changed the font for just the first line to Arial Black.
Now, how do you change the font for all the text to Arial Black?Now, try to change the font for all the text in the text object to Arial Black.
It is possible for me to change the font for the entire text to any other font, except the font that is used for the first line.
Even if just a single word is typed, and you change the font for just the first character in the word, you then cannot change the word's font, to the font which you used for just the first character.

I have been using Xara for a very long time. I have recently started a side business generating signs and banners and continue to use Xara as my primary graphics editor, but I've discovered a tiny issue and I'm hoping there is some way around it. The Font Size live preview slider is limited (for some reason?) to sizes less than 32pt, and the font drop down list starts getting coarse after 24pt and tops out at 72pt sizes. Since most of what I'm doing involves text sizes larger than 72pt and much larger than the 32pt the slider allows, both of those options for adjusting font size have lost their usefulness.
Is there any way for me to adjust the values for the slider and/or for the drop down list to allow larger numbers? I realize I could use a scaling factor and layout my signs as a fraction of their intended size, but then I have hope to remember to change the scale when I import it into my sign cutting software or run the risk of wasting vinyl, so that would be my last choice.
Surely I can't be the only person who uses large text?
Also, any issues with exporting text into EPS and getting a change in the case of the text? If I export "This is Text" as an EPS file, when I import it into my sign cutting software, I sometimes get "tHIS IS tEXT", but if I import the same EPS into Xara it looks normal. Not sure if that is Xara or the sign cutting software (LXi Express Expert edition)... Until I figure that one out, I make sure to convert text to editable shapes before exporting it...

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm using Elements 11. In order to add watermarks to many JPG pics at once, I use the function "Process Multiple Files".
I select a source folder and a destination folder, and adds a three digit serial number to each file. I do NOT tick the checkbox marked "Change picture size". After that I define the watermark I want printed on my pics and hits OK. All the files in the source folder are processed and saved, with a new name in the destination folder. Fair and square.
But. The file size of the new file is heavily reduced, compared to the original. It goes from 10 MB down to 500 KB (in general). Why is that? Is there any way I can prevent it?
If i do a text box and put say 16 point text in it, then (as part of a group or folder) scale that text box (say 200%), i get irregular point sizes.
If i use the text tool and select the enlarged copy, the character palette tells me i have 16 point copy still (even though it plainly isnt).
If its a single point size and not larger headings, i can use the move tool and it will tell me the faux size - but thats no work around.
So in short, how do i scale (using the transform tool) copy and it enlarge the actual point size of the copy.
