Tobias Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I'm having a problem where text styles don't stick. In a new, clean file it works fine, but in my templates, they don't stick. I can select text, change the style and the text will change to match the style, but the drop down for text style will revert to , so the text block is not linked to the style. This effects my template, and all the files created with the template. The template is from VW 2010 via VW 2008. I'm pretty much resigned that I will have to create new template files, but the project files would be a huge pain. Is there a way to trouble shoot this? I have sent a test file to bug submit but got no response. -Tobias Quote Link to comment
Tobias Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 (edited) I have actual rebuilt the template, but am still having a problem with text styles. If I use them on a sheet layer, they work fine. If I use them on the same sheet layer, inside of a viewport's annotation space, the style doesn't stick. The same is true for text inside of a symbol. No one else is having this problem? Edited January 21, 2011 by Tobias Quote Link to comment
Kevin McAllister Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I have noticed styled text reverting to "unstyled" too. I haven't been able to trace it to anything specific though. Kevin Quote Link to comment
Art V Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I'm having the same problem and apparently it is by design (sigh). My local distributor has been informed of my unhappiness about this but it seems that Nemetschek Vectorworks in the US has to change this behaviour. It would be really nice if one could e.g. change the font size for a single text object without having to create a new style for it in case e.g. the font gets changed later on. I have also noticed that it does not import or export text styles from/to AutoCAD dwg files (which is something that would be really useful for compatibility reasons, even if the font itself might change) Quote Link to comment
MatthewNYC Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 I am finding that applying a text style in any container such as a symbol or a viewport results in the text style changing but the text style immediately becoming "un-styled" Given that a HUGE amount of text ends up in viewports this is maddening.
