Project-wide utilities - Changing attribute style not working

Anonymous

Autocad Electrical 2018.

 

The project-wide attribute style change does not.

 

I choose setup and changed Font Name.

 

The drawing does not show updated font.

 

Does anyone know why this is happening?

You have to change the Font in the Text Style...

 

First of all, you need the menu bar showing...

In the short menu bar right up in the top left corner of the ACADE window, select the little down arrow on the right hand end.

Click on Show Menu Bar down the bottom of the menu

 

Go to the Format menu from the Menu Bar and select Text Style.

Select the text style that you want to modify. WD is normally used for the attributes in the supplied ACADE blocks.

Change the font to your required font and any other changes you require.

Now click on Apply and then Set Current. Doing this applies the setting to all existing entities using that text style.

 

Now for the bad news. As this s not an ACADE setting but a plain ACAD one, you will have to do this for each existing dwg to have it the same across all the dwgs in the project. However, if you do this on your Template file/s, it will come in already set in all new dwgs using that template

I believe he's talking about this function Brad:

What font are you trying to change to? Also, this function will just change the font for the WD and WD_IEC text styles.
