notredave Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Good morning all, I have a dilemma that is driving me crazy. I have over 150 drawings that have "standard" text style that our client doesn't use. Client uses "simplex" and "complex" only. I have to purge/delete standard or it won't pass cad verification program. I have used txtmrg and stripmtext lisp routines to try and fix it but the darn "standard" will not go away! I am attaching the drawing and if someone can come up with a fix, it sure would make me happy! I have also wblock entire drawing and that didn't work also. Thank you very much in advance, Dave Standard text style.dwg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 I was always under the impression the default STANDARD text style could not be deleted from a drawing. And even if one was able to do so it would only mysteriously reappear somewhere down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLW210 Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 -RENAME or RENAME Style Standard to one of those and change the font to suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notredave Posted March 8, 2018 Author Share Posted March 8, 2018 ReMark, after you replied, I googled what you said and you are correct, you can't delete "standard". The problem was "standard" was set with "arial" font. I changed it to "simplex" and all is good now. I do not require any more answers. Thank you and SLW210 for replying so quickly!

CyberAngel Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I was always under the impression the default STANDARD text style could not be deleted from a drawing. It's true, for the same reason you can't delete layer 0 or the World UCS. There has to be a default. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
