About the Text Style Dialog Box
You can change the font, width, and color of an existing text style using the Text Style dialog box. Changes that you make using this dialog box only affect the selected text.
You can access the Text Style dialog box in the following ways:
• By clicking > > .
• By clicking the Text Style tab in the Note Properties dialog box. The Note Properties dialog box open when you select a note, right-click, and click Properties on the shortcut menu.
• By selecting the dimension text and clicking the Format tab.
• To modify the text style of the additional text associated with a geometric tolerance, by selecting the additional text, right-clicking, and clicking Text Style on the shortcut menu.
Using the Text Style dialog box, you can:
• Change the font by clearing the Default check box and selecting a font name in the Font list.
When you create text in a drawing, the text is created using the font specified by the default_font Detail option, and the Default check box appears selected. Subsequently, if you change the font specified by the default_font Detail option, any text that you create or had earlier created with Default check box selected, will use the changed font specified by the default_font Detail option.
When the Default check box appears selected, you cannot change the font name in the Font list.
You can clear the Default check box to change the font name in the Font list. If you create any text with the Default check box not selected, the text font is not affected by any changes done to the font specified by the default_font Detail option.
• Change the text height by clearing the Default check box and typing a value in the Height box.
• Change the text width by clearing the Default check box and typing a value in the Width factor box.
• Change the text thickness by clearing the Default check box and typing a value in the Thickness box.
• Change the slant angle of the text by typing a value in the Slant Angle box.
• Underline the text by clicking the Underline check box.
• Enable font kerning for the text string by clicking the Kerning check box. This reduces the space between certain pairs of characters, improving the appearance of the text string. Alternatively, control the font kerning by setting the default_font_kerning_in_drawing configuration option.
• Change the line spacing by clearing the Default check box and typing a value in the Line Spacing box.
• Specify the horizontal positioning of the text by selecting Left, Center, Right, or Default in the Horizontal list.
• Specify the vertical positioning of table cell text in individual table cells by selecting Top, Middle, Bottom or Bottom of Origin Line in the Vertical list.

The Vertical option for text positioning is available for selection only for the On Item notes.
|
• Rotate the text at an angle by typing a value in the Angle box. The default rotation point of the text is determined by the horizontal and vertical positioning of the text. For example, if the horizontal positioning is Right and the vertical positioning is Bottom, the text is rotated about the point where the horizontal and vertical positions intersect by an angle that you specify in Text Style dialog box.
• Flip the text so that it reads backwards by clicking the Mirror check box.
• Use Break crosshatching to set an offset around a note if it is within a crosshatched area.
• Change the color of the note text by clicking Color and selecting the required color from the Color palette.
