djenkins Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 I changed my text style on my drawing. I updated all text to the new style. Everything I changed, except one word, looks like it's bold. Bold is not on & I don't see any differences between the properties of the text that appears bold and the text that appears accurately. It plots out that way as well. Does anyone know how to fix it?

pennylove Posted September 12, 2006 Posted September 12, 2006 It depends upon how you updated your text. Sometimes, if you select a bunch of mtext and change the style in the properties box, it will say it's updated, but it doesn't actually update. What you will have to do in that instance is for each and every mtext box (individually), you will have to go into text edit mode, and in the top of the mtext box, change the text style to the style that you want. I know that it will show that it is already the correct style, but change and select it again thru the mtext editor again anyways. I know it's kinda redundant, especially if you have to do this individually for each mtext box, but that is the only way i know of how to fix it. I think it might be an error in autocad or something. Anybody else know how to do it faster? Quote
Hardy Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Have a look at the 'z' value of the txt is may be below or above 0, I had that problem once and it was fixed by either using the squash command or selecting the txt using quick select and postioning the txt back to zero. Hope this helps. Quote
BMore Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 My coworker and I are having the same problem with MTEXT. Even when we copy and paste text that is not bold, random copies will plot bold. Sometimes if we go and edit text in a table, all the text prior to our edit will be regular and text after the edit will be bold. We've updated our text styles (even making a completely new drawing template), checked the 'z' in properties, etc. Has anyone found a solution? Quote
CyberAngel Posted December 14, 2010 Posted December 14, 2010 This seems to happen regularly with the Arial font. You can define a style with the regular font, create text using that style, and get some pieces of bold text even though there is no bold style. I consider it a bug. Quote
BMore Posted December 14, 2010 Posted December 14, 2010 Thanks, CyberAngel. We have the problem using Times New Roman as well. We're going to try changing the font to @Batang and see if the problem persists. Quote
