Mtext style question

When I create a Text Style, I miss a lot of options like setting values for bold/italic, underline, width, justification, columns, etc. I'd like not having to set them every time I use Mtext. Is is possible?

Some things are properties of TextStyles, such as the font name, bold/regular (for TrueType only), character width/oblique angle - but other things you mentioned are not part of TextStyles, but properties of the Mtext object itself (columns, width [of the mtext box], justification, etc.)

Also, Mtext allows inline overrides of things like font, color, decoration (underline, italic), spacing, etc - so that from a certain POV, the TextStyle is irrelevant.

Several ways:

Define styles in your templates and they will already be in new drawings.

 

Once styles are defined in one drawing file, use Design Center (ADCENTER) to import that style into other drawings.

 

Use a macro or lisp to set styles while placing mtext.  Explore the command line version of the -STYLE command for syntax.
