Simple question, (I spent some time looking though the Users Guide and didn't see it):
How do I change the font used for dimensioning in an existing drawing?
I have a drawing that I downloaded from McMaster-Carr. It's hard to read because it's in a font that isn't clear. I'd like to convert the whole thing to say, Arial. I can do it one dimension at a time but is there a way to change the whole thing at once?
Also on the same drawing, I'd like to change the line thicknesses, because they're too thick to see clearly. Same question applies, how to do the whole drawing at once rather than update one line at a time.
Thanks!

Solved by pendean. Go to Solution.
From the dropdown:
Format; Dimension Style; (Pick yours) Modify; Text; Change the text style
Of course you need a Text Style that is the text you want. (Same drop down menu)
Depending on your LT version down in the Tray at the bottom there is a Toggle for Line Thickness On or Off.

I'm using ACAD LT 2011 with the ribbons, not the pull downs.
BUT--
When I go to DIMSTYLE, and chnage to Arial, that changes the font in all NEW dimensions in the drawing. It does not change the existing dimensions. That's what I was hoping for.
Didn't see a Line Thickness toggle...
STYLE command
change the font for evey style in use to the one you want.
You may had to address the text size as well.
OR
Window everything.
PROPERTIES command.
Sort through the differen entity types.
Text and Dimensions let you change defined text styles
You may have to address the text size as well.
Notice I keep mentioning TEXT STYLES, not using the word font.

At the end of the QAT there is a down arrow. Click on this and you can show the Menu Bar (Pull down)
