Text font in LDE?

Brian Bauer · Post by **Brian Bauer** » Fri, Oct 12 2007, 3:08PM

is there a separate dialouge box for font in text and dimensioning in the LDE it is a pain to go back and forth changing the font:(
From the text window and the dimesion area.also is there a refresh botton or key in the LDE when changes are made to the settings?as in default settings to change them globally?

You mean like this?

Exactly, but is there a way to control the text separate from the dimensioning numbers.

Thanks Dan

Yep...after you add dimensions and your text, select the text and you can change the size, font and color separately from the dimensions.

I know that

but I was wondering if there was a separate control so I would,t have to go back and change it.

Brian,

The \"text\" button is for both numerals and text.

When I do my drawings I position all views as the way I want them. Then I do all dimensions then text.

I also have a DXF file for landscape and portrait that has all my company information on it, I import this DXF file and it places it exactly on the page where I need it. Also DXF files in the LDE can be resized. So this single import does most of the text for me.

TurboCad is less than $100.00 and you can create DXF files to your own need.

This one is just a sample

I think I remember (if I didn't forget) that the LDE is one of the areas for big improvements in either 5.2 or 6.0. Maybe it will have better dimension and text editing capabilities.

Then how come it doesn't smell like Hall's cough drops?

But then, particle board doesn't smell like pine either, does it?
