X-REF Font

Is there a way to change the font on the x-ref grapics? I am using the grapical fromat with IEC style contacts.  I would like to use Times New Roman font for the contact pin numbers. Is there a way to change this?

Outside of AcadE -

Locate your wd.env file (on a standalone install it will be something like \My Documents\Acade {version}\AeData).

Open it with a text editor like Notepad.

 

Look for lines like this -

*SETQ:GBL_wd_xref_mtext_pinfont,"romans.shx",graphical cross-references - font for the "terminal pin" text
*SETQ:GBL_wd_xref_mtext_pinsize,"0.67",ratio pin/reference text size

 

Remove the initial "*" which comments the lines out. Then put in the font and size you want. Restart AcadE.

 

This has been in AcadE for a long time but no UI was added for defining this so it is pretty hidden.
