Text & Dim Styles

[Rhayes]

We our changing our standard Text Style and Dim Styles.
I want to be able to load the correct Text Font in a existing
drawing that already has the text style set to the old font.
What is the best way to make sure all drawings are looking at
the correct styles.???

take any text and/or dimension, and make it a Block. then INSERT it into any drawing and it will bring the properties with it. :)

What about if the drawing has a standard font that is Monoarch and I want the Standard font to be Archquick.??? How can that be automated...???

na, you can't mess with the STANDARD text styles, you'll have to edit those each time because it's a default that's preset in AutoCAD. Kinda the reason why most people say to never use this text/dim style as a rule of thumb. :wink:

You can also set up the new stuff in your acad template drawing....

If I'm understanding the question you want to change the font associated with a particular style.

This can be done with
(command "-style" "standard" "simplex.shx" "" "" "" "" "" "")
which could be made into a script and run on all your drawings.

The above will associate "simplex.shx" to the text style "Standard". Change the style and font as appropriate.
