tzframpton Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Is there a way to *quickly* set a style to current? What I'd really like to see AutoCAD have is a right-click option for this. Such as, if I click on a Dimension Style, I can right-click and select "Make Style Current". Or, rather, since we have the "Add Selected" option, if there was a toggle to make the style current from the last used Add Selected option. When you use the Add Selected option, the default style reverts back to the last selected style. If it would keep, that would be fantastic. Anything like this exist? It's minor, but I feel like it's important enough. Thanks in advance. -TZ Quote
Dadgad Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 No silver bullet that I know of Tannar. Possibly the DC (design center) might be the fastest way, to set multiple styles at one time, using the Open drawings tab. Quote
tzframpton Posted July 7, 2015 Author Posted July 7, 2015 Thanks Dadgad, but I'm looking for more of an "on the fly, as you're working" type of setup with preexisting styles already defined. Quote
Dadgad Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Yeah, I understood that, but I can't find anything like that in any of the shortcut, hover menus or command list. I never use the Design Center, thought there might be a way there, but then checked it out and there isn't. Quote
BIGAL Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Autocad, maybe Revit, A toolbar, a shortcut T1 etc command, maybe redefine keystroke combo's. Even redfine a key on the keyboard (keygen) Quote
RobDraw Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 I use the keyboard to bring up the dialog box and mouse to select the style. Quick enough for me, but I don't need to change styles very often. Quote
ReMark Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 I would think that using a custom lisp routine to set a text style current would be feasible. Quote
RobDraw Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Absolutely, in fact, a single LISP could set a number of styles current. I think that something like that would have been a feature added long ago. Something like workspaces. Quote
rkent Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Not one I wrote. ;Set to current dimstyle by picking an object on desired dimstyle.;Set Dimension style Current (defun C:SDC () (prompt "\Select Desired Dimstyle...") (command "-DIMSTYLE" "_R" "") (princ) ) Also search, cadalyst: set dimstyle with pick lsp Quote
tzframpton Posted July 7, 2015 Author Posted July 7, 2015 Thanks everyone, I'll take what's here and see what my options are with the LISP routines provided. -TZ Quote
zaphod Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 I often use macros to switch styles, it might not be the same in revit but here is what i use in AutoCAD. ^C^C^C_DIMSTYLE;R;FEET;dimlinear "feet" being the dimstyle Quote
