LDT 2005 Text Problem

i have a recurring problem with Text Height in LDT 2005. For some reason, Text heights change randomly on our drawings. We created our own Text Styles to avoid using Leroy Text, and still the text entity, rather than the Text Style change. Anyone have any ideas? It's killing our productivity.

Thanks for the help.

scwillard I long ago decided that I would take advantage of setting the
Standard Text Style in the manner I wanted it to be, rather than it using
the txt.shx Font.

So I participated in the use of this code to accomplish that desire:
MNL file snip>
;---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
;STANDARD text style

(princ "\nVerifying STANDARD text style loaded.")
(setq curtxt (getvar "textstyle"))
(command "-style" "STANDARD" "romansX7N.shx" "0" "0.8" "15" "n" "n")
(if (= (getvar "cmdactive") 1) (command ""))

return current text style to preset
(setvar "textstyle" curtxt)

end of snip>

You can make use of that to your heart's content, revising the Font, Height,
Width, Slant variables to suit your firm's needs of course.

And since it's part of a MNL file that's named the same as the MNS file that
I load through MENULOAD, it then loads up properly with each dwg file I
open.

Meaning that the System Variables that I've encountered along my way, are
set the way that works properly for most everything I do in Land Desktop
scwillard.

An example follows:
MNL file snip>
;---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
;System Variables auto settings

(princ "\nVerifying system variables match User standards.")
(setvar "visretain" 1)
(setvar "qtextmode" 0)
(setvar "filedia" 1)
(setvar "cmddia" 1)
(setvar "mirrtext" 0)
(setvar "maxactvp" 64)
(setvar "blipmode" 0)
(setvar "ucsfollow" 0)
(setvar "gridmode" 0)
(setvar "gridunit" (list 0 0))
(setvar "snapunit" (list 0.01 0.01))
(setvar "snapmode" 0)
(setvar "layoutregenctl" 0)
(setvar "insbase" (list 0 0 0))
(setvar "pickadd" 1)
(setvar "fillmode" 1)
(setvar "treedepth" 3020)
(setvar "regenmode" 1)
(setvar "plinegen" 1)
(setvar "psltscale" 1)
(setvar "pdmode" 3)
(setvar "pdsize" 0.5)
(setvar "celtype" "bylayer")
(setvar "cecolor" "bylayer")

end of snip>
