AutoNub Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Is there a way to quickly change all text font in model space in autocad electrical 2009 rather than doing it manually for every text block? Quote
nicolas Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 In Autocad (not necessarily Autocad Electrical), if all mtexts are according to a text style, changing the text style will automatically change all mtext (font size is one of them). However we do apply change directly to the mtext for example changing a text font or size which is on an established text style. Changing the text style yields no result for texts that have been manually formatted or changed. Hence the need to unformat them by double clicking on each mtext, select the text, ctrl+space, ctrl+z or you may use a lisp program that apply unformatting to a number of selected mtext. The best principle is to have all texts to preset text style and layer. In this way, you can apply change globally. Quote
nestly Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Select all the texts with either QuickSelect, SelectSimilar, or Filter, and change them in the Properties Palette. Quote
AutoNub Posted February 23, 2012 Author Posted February 23, 2012 Thanks a ton for the quick response. You just saved me hours of work! Quote
tzframpton Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Also you can use the FILTER command. What's good about it vs the QSELECT tool, is you can save selection presets. Quote

I've used and appreciated the FILTER command before, and marvelled at how great it was, but never really integrated it into my workflow. But I just set up and saved about 8 different customized filters which will come in really handy, and which will see a lot more use, since I won't need to adjust the filter parameters every time I want to use the FILTER command. Thanks! Quote
Dadgad Posted February 26, 2012 Posted February 26, 2012 Select all the texts with either QuickSelect, SelectSimilar, or Filter, and change them in the Properties Palette. Additionally, if you use your QUICKPROPERTIES 24/7, like I do, you can select everything (ctrl A) then select them from the drop down. Quote
