Dimension Font

[Mikerosen]

In preferences, I have set my dimension font to City Blueprint. The horizontal dimension shows in that font. However, the vertical and diagonal stay in the default font. Am I missing a setting?

Also, there is no place that I can find to set the text default font, which I would also like to be City Blueprint. I can change it after I enter it, but I would prefer it to be the default.

Me again Mike!

Go to Preferences – Display. Set the font and size there. Then on the drawing select the text tool and in the floating text window, check that the font and size are the same – if not, set them to be so. Type a bit of text.

Save the drawing, quit RealCADD, reboot RealCADD and open the drawing and it should have taken effect OK.

I have found it to be a bit quirky, in that it may take a few opens, saves and closes before it reliably takes effect. But once it does it stays OK, until you change it in preferences. Temporary change to the size and font on the floating window don't seem to disturb it.

Sorry Mike – I meant to say:

Go to Preferences – Dimensions .... etc Not Preferences – Display

I'll do that, George. Thanks, as always.

George and Eric,

I have tried, multiple times, but the dimension font WILL NOT CHANGE for the other dimensions.

In addition, I notice that if I double-click a dimension, it will rotate. (Regardless of the checkbox "Rotate Text.) This is a very nice feature. However, it will only rotate one dimension. If I double-click another one, the first one goes back to its original orientation.

Again, I ask, user error, or bug?

Mike,

If you change the font in the prefs, this will take effect ONLY for the new dimensions.

SOLVED!

The problem is in the font. It doesn't like being turned from the horizontal. I unchecked Rotate Text, so the dimension is constrained to the horizontal. It works correctly in that configuration.

Thanks for bearing with me, on this.
