ingoerik Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Just another simple thing (FormZ 8.02 here): i imported a dwg file and selected all the text to change it to a different more readable font, but there seems to be no way to do it. Nothing in the text change palette and nothing in the attributes. Any ideas ? Kiaraorage, Santoskes and dapedkat 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Hi IngoErik, Sorry you are having trouble. If you pick your text and check the Info Tab of the Pick Options, what Object Type and Model Type is listed there? And if this is Object Text, you can click the Parameters Tab and adjust options like the size, orientation, justification, etc. Or you can use the Edit Text tool to change the font(s) if desired. (Or if you want to manipulate multiple text strings -- and then you can use the Find and Replace to just change the font style or size if you want...) The current version of formZ has an option to convert this imported text into NOTE Text instead of Object Text. If you have (or had) Note Text, then you can simply edit and adjust the Text / Dimension Style that is being used (Pick the Note Text, click the Parameters Tab, and click the green + sign to create a New Dimension Style with the desired parameters, and then just change the NOTE Text to use this new Style and all of its parameters. If you need any further help, please send a FMZ file along with a quick note or two for exactly what you are trying to achieve, and we will do our best to help.

ingoerik Posted February 9, 2017 Author Share Posted February 9, 2017 Thanks Mr Tech, the problem is you cant change the font in the parameters tab, and you cant change the font of all selected text with the edit text tool, just one text.

Tech Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Hi IngoErik, You can use the Text Search and Replace tool to change all the fonts at once if you like: Does that help? etroxel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ingoerik Posted February 10, 2017 Author Share Posted February 10, 2017 Well i guess it would help if it works, but it doesn't work. But more "natural" would be an addition of font in the parameters tab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 IngoEric, This is working fine for us. If you have a case and would like help, please post or send the file and we will see what we can suggest for you... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¢hris £und Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 The current version of formZ has an option to convert this imported text into NOTE Text instead of Object Text Tech, This says that this is an option? Where do I set it? As mentioned in another thread, Notes don't work for me either. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¢hris £und Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 The Text Search and replace tool also does not work for me. (when looking for and trying to replace a font) works for text string. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santa Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 The Note Text tool needs a major overhaul! Editing such text does not work in 9.1.0 (A399) for a start. I feel that the concept of resizable text boxes was better in many ways. Things like automatic line breaks, spell checking, and better justification options would come in handy. "Middle Centre" justified text only works at the paragraph level, for example, rather than every line, which bugs me. It's also confusing that a change of font requires the creation of a new a dimension style. Justin Montoya 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
