Lew Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Hi there, I have a problem with Text becoming fat (not bold) when copying multiline text with a base point... i'm not sure why it does this or how to stop it. Can anyone help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkmcswain Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Copying from where to where? Within the same drawing using the COPY command, or between drawings using COPYCLIP and PASTECLIP? Is it because the lineweight (LWT) is turned on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 Thanks for your reply, It happens within the same drawing (in model space). If i copy the text (command: CO) and paste it anywhere within my model space without pasting to a base point - there is no problem. If i copy the text (command: CO) and paste it snapping to another line or object, the text will appear larger - but still retains the same text height and all other characteristics etc - that i know of. Note: the text prints larger also. I hope this is clearer. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlB Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Check the z value (elevation) of the problem mext. If not at 0.0000000, truetype fonts can get "fuzzy" or maybe "fat" The lines you are snapping to are probably not at z=zero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was going to be my next suggestion. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 Thanks all for your help, i've purpously added a 'z' value to a line to test this theory - and yes it does become 'fat' - 'fuzzy'. I now know what to avoid. Much appreciate you time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
