carpenter1234 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 (edited) is there a possibility to replace any font type in one drawing with a specified new one in a batch mode without selecting each one? font size should not be touched.problem is there are lots of text in groups , symbols and layout areas in my drawing, so i can't selct them all at once(and i don't want to cycle through these myriads of objects).

islandmon Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Did you assign a unique Class to the text ? { DSelectAll; SelectObj(INSYMBOL & INOBJECT & INVIEWPORT & (C='FontClassTest'));; } If ,yes, then use the selection by Class to make a global change. If not then you will need to select by the FontID: { DSelectAll; SelectObj(INSYMBOL & INOBJECT & INVIEWPORT & (FOT='Arial')); } Quote Link to comment
George Cocea Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I use Global Text Attributes by Software Customization Services, Inc. I recall that a demo is available. http://scs-inc.us/default.php?page=products&subPage=Products/Global%20Text%20Attributes/Default Best, George Quote Link to comment
carpenter1234 Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 ok, i treid the global text attributes, it works, but it won't change in symbols and in layout areas, neither in groups. would a vectorscript be capable of that spcific task anyway? Quote Link to comment
islandmon Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 The script to use includes "INSYMBOL & INOBJECT & INVIEWPORT" ... just replace the 'Arial' with your FontName. DSelectAll; SelectObj(INSYMBOL & INOBJECT & INVIEWPORT & (FOT='Arial')); Quote Link to comment
carpenter1234 Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 (edited) sorry to say so, but it won't select text in groups, symbols and viewports. only "real" textobjects. Edited July 20, 2009 by carpenter1234 Quote Link to comment
