Text troubles

Any easy way to adjust text size, font... in individual text styles and have it update the text of that style throughout the drawing - in model and paper space. I'm trying to tweek the overall appearance of a file.

Thanks,
Greg Tew

STYLE command does just that: assuming your Mtext entities' fonts were not
changed independently of the defined text style.

You can also use PROPERTIES: it presorts entity types for you, then you can
make text changes.

Try using the <<FILTER>>
command.

This opens a filter dialog box.

First make sure that the top window of the dialogue
box is empty - click on the <Clear list > button to clear the top window
if there is anything in it.

Then click on the <Add selected item>
button.

You will be returned to the drawing and then need
to select just one of the items you want to change. After you have clicked on
the item you will be returned to the dialog box.

the top window of the dialog box will now contain a
list of the properties of that item. You should delete the properties that you
do not want to change by highlighting the item in the list and clicking the
<delete> button.

When you are left with just the properties you want
to change, click the <Apply> button. Type ALL at the command prompt, then
hit return. This will globally select all the items with the properties you
previously set in the FILTER window, but will filter out anything
else

Open the Properties window and change the
properties you want to alter. Hey Presto!  (You may have problems selecting
all items using a particular Text Style if the same text style is used in
attributes contained in blocks since <Text Style> will disappear from the
Properties window).
