But I would suggest you take some drawing with a large quantity of text, and make copies using something like RomanS for everything and using Arial for everything, and compare the time they take to open.Īnother advantage to. However, that experiment was long enough ago that the increased speed of computer processors may make it significantly less noticeable now. We use the same style for Dimensions as for notes, not because it saves much time in generation but just to match. So we use RomanS for most purposes, RomanD for a few, and things from the Swiss family only for shorter pieces of larger Text such as drawing titles, but never a TrueType font for "body text" such as notes. With a TrueType font than it was with any. What we found was that in a drawing with a lot of textual elements in it, such as a sheet of Wall Sections with lots of notes, the generation time was We experimented with using TrueType fonts for all textual elements some time ago. However, there's something else you may not have considered. Every textual element has a Style assigned to it, and there's no advantage or disadvantage to Standard in comparison to others, that I'm aware of. I don't think there's any advantage one way or another. Some of our different names use the same font, but are different only because some of them are fixed-height and others are not. But you can certainly change the font assigned to the Standard style, so that you can use Standard without sticking with the default TXT font. We leave AutoCAD's default "Standard" style alone and define our own standards with a few different names for different purposes. If there are no problems using standard, why shouldn't I use standard in my multileader styles, and table styles? In our company we currently use Arial as the default font.Īnd to extend this thought a bit more. If there are no problems using standard, why shouldn't I use standard in my multileader styles, and table wrote: Is there some un-intended autocad behaviour to using standard all the time? (Like using layer 0, and defpoints)Īnd to extend this thought a bit more. What is the benefit of using a different text file over standard? Standard (set to current, using the arial font)ĭoes your company use "Standard" for text? Or do you use a different new text style?.In the interest of reducing the amount of different text styles would it be a good idea to just use standard as our text style to write with? I would also probably create a Standard30, and Standard-30 and delete the arial fonts so that my text styles would look like this: Arial (set to current, and the style we always use).If your Table Style is configured correctly, the font and the other settings associated with that style, will kick in and change your Table's appearance.In our company we currently use Arial as the default font.
Select the Table=>Go to Properties Palette=>Change the Style in Table Section under 'Table Style' Once a table has been inserted in your drawing, you may change that table's Style from one style to another. You may even ADD a Table Style using Design Center. If the names are the same, you'll have issues. If you cut and paste one from another drawing, the new Table Style's name should be different from any existing named style in you current drawing. You may create one from scratch in your current drawing or you may cut and paste a Table Style from another drawing. Note: There are different way to establish a Table Style. You'll know if you have properly established a Table Style if you see it the in the dropdown list in the INSERT TABLE dialog window. The style will give you the control you need. Change the style and the font associated with that style will react and change with it.įirst, establish a TABLE STYLE. One of the items that can change in its appearance is font. In AutoCad, a s tyle controls the appearance of an entity such as a label, or in your case, a Table. Just like text styles, multi-leader-styles, and dimension styles, there are TABLE STYLES.
