Archipella Studios Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Where in VW 2013 can the standard dimension text size be set? Quote Link to comment
Archipella Studios Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 Must a script be created rather than a standard setting? Given all of the 'large' improvements, there are just so many little details that have been overlooked. There is still no search capacity in the WORKGROUP edit/creation Window to name one example...

michaelk Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Dimension objects use the text size of the current TEXT>SIZE setting unless Select the linear dimension tool. In the Dim Std: pull down menu in the mode bar choose "Custom Standards" There you can create you own standard and assign a text style from the RB. hth mk Quote Link to comment
Archipella Studios Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 Michaekk, thanks for the info. The dim standard customizes spacing and format only, I discovered, and not font style or size. Am I missing something? FYI, for the 4th or 5th time over the years, VW tossed my membership info... I find them slightly more annoying than they are remarkable. A true love/hate from my perspective. Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 It works for me. In the attached file, you should be able to insert a dimension object in the 'Arch' dim standard in the default 12 pt size. Insert a dimension object in the 'TestDimStandard' and it will insert as 48pt size. When did your membership info get tossed? Send me a PM and I'll see if I can look into it. mk Quote Link to comment
Archipella Studios Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 Michael, again thanks.... What is the source of the file you sent? I wish to be able to recreate the solution. Why 48 pt size? I will try it and report. Membership has been tossed many times. I've been using VW since it was Minicad though not too much for the past 4 years. First seeing the new modeling engine with this DEMO. Any idea why a workspace, that I just created, is now saying it cannot be edited? Claims I must check the sharing preferences in the directory as well the file. Changing the file made no difference. Why the security. It's merely a workspace... John Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Hi John The file is one I created from a blank. I just made it 48 so it was easy to distinguish from 12. As for the workspace, it would help to know what OS you are using. mk Quote Link to comment
Archipella Studios Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 Sorry to have left that out... OSX 10.8 4Mb RAM VW demo 2013. I was wondering if it is a limitation of the demo. It also gave a message that there was not enough memory. I did create the Workspace I am using by creating a copy of the default. JG Quote Link to comment
Archipella Studios Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 Michael, importing the file you sent creates a line item in the DIM Standards that matches the import, BUT, selecting the DIM standard does not set a new default. The same is true for pre-selecting a font size or creating a CUSTOM font style using FORMAT TEXT. All I am seeking here is to have the default text size to be what I want am wondering why this has changed. A range of key commands are gone as well including COMMAND~L for Rotate 90 degrees. Makes no sense to me to establish a standard and then take it away. Today I declare that all letter A's are to be pronounced Bee!?? Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 Not sure I understand the question.... On my machine, once the new dimension standard is selected in the mode bar it is the new default. Command-L still works for me. You may have a bad workspace. mk Quote Link to comment
Archipella Studios Posted October 27, 2012 Author Share Posted October 27, 2012 Virtually none of the standard keyboard shortcuts are working. I want to include Rotate right and views Command 6, 7, 8 for example.....and my custom workspace is not functioning. Yikes.... Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Sounds like it's time for a call to tech support. It sounds like your workspaces are really messed up. mk Quote Link to comment
