There is nothing curved or smooth about it. If you zoom in close enough you can see that the letter “O” for example, is composed of 16 line segments (using Simplex.shx). These are essentially characters defined by vectors. We have seen some people over the years making the switch from shape based fonts (SHX) to TrueType fonts (TTF) in AutoCAD, BricsCAD, etc.įor the first 12 years of AutoCAD’s existence, you did not have a choice, as SHX fonts were your only option. runs same routine again, picking up Mtext this time. (setq ent_data (subst new_style_name (assoc 7 ent_data) ent_data)) (defun C:CHANGESTYLE (/ entities len count ent ent_data ent_name new_style_name) It changes all text to isocp.shx, but you could change that to whatever font you need.

It hasn't been tested a lot, but seems to work (and I wasn't sure how to select all text and all mtext in the one hit, so I cheated and ran the routine twice.). I've been meaning to write something that will do this for some time and your question has prompted me to do it. So frankly I don't even know how to change the font of a single line text object. And then ONLY multiline text has the properties to change font. To change font, I have to edit every piece of text one by one.

How do I change the default font for the document so that all new text is the way I want it?Īnd is there a LISP routine which will find all text and change the font property and stuff the way I want it? For multi-line and single line text.Īlso note, I've tried selecting all the text and editing properties, but font is not one of the properties I can change. When I use the font properties dialog box, I can set simplex as the font, but when I make new text, it still matches their comic sans. The match properties command doesn't seem to change font, just size and alignment. We use a font called Simplex, but sometimes their document is filled with, like, Comic Sans or something stupid.

Some help would be appreciated.īasically, we get documents from other people and we convert those to our formats to do our work. Hi all, I've searched google and this forum and not found much.
