BIGAL Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Simplest way is to make your styles and save in a DWT so they are ready to go. Add all your layers, blocks and linetypes also. If you do Options Files Templates you can set your dwt to be the one that is used when you start CAD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGAL Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Look at the command line when you do -style manually, press F2 to see the correct input, why would you set Romans to txt.shx why not Romans. Again look at using a DWT. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombu Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Keep in mind loading a lisp doesn't run the lisp, you have to run the command afterwards. AutoCAD installs with it's own very complete Swis721 collection of TrueType fonts you can assign to a Text Style or inside a portion of Mtext. Compare your romans shape font to the Swis721 Lt BT Light Italic TrueType font by putting two copies of a sentence on top of each other with one romans with an oblique angle of 5 and the other assigned the Swis721 Lt BT Light Italic TrueType font. The TrueType font is easier to read, takes up a lot less space in your drawing and you don't have to modify the lineweight for different sized text. You should consider all BIGAL's comments as you should never have to add a text style unless you're working on a drawing you got from someone else as all your standard text & dimension styles, layers, blocks and linetypes should already be in every drawing you create if your DWT's were properly set up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
