Cloud Hidden Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 I cannot figure out how to set default values for a coupla tools. The angular dimension tool shows decimal angles, and I want to default to degrees and minutes. If I keep doing it one by one, I'll miss one sometime. How to change the default? The text callout tool always defaults to 12 pt text. I want 9. No matter how often I select the tool with no object selected, it defaults to 12 even if the size menu shows 9. Then I have to change that instance to 9. How to change that default? I was able to do it for the text tool, but not the callout tool. Quote Link to comment
propstuff Posted August 19, 2003 Share Posted August 19, 2003 Hi Cloud, For angles; Page/Units/General Display, go down to the bottom where the angles are; Precision/ drop down menu. there ;-) For callouts; huh? On mine, the text size of callouts is whatever is set in the Text menu at the time of creation. sounds a bit glitchy.... Have you tried it in a New file?? hth, N. Quote Link to comment
Cloud Hidden Posted August 19, 2003 Author Share Posted August 19, 2003 Thanks on the angle....there are so many places where things could be that I can't find half of them, even with the help and search features. Kinda like my keys in my house... The callout tool....hmmm. It behaves the way I describe in any new file from my template. It behaves the way it should in any truly new new file. hmmmmm. I can't afford to recreate my template from scratch. Any ideas on how to smack it around so it behaves in an existing file? Nothing I do seems to change the callout tool from creating 12 pt text, forcing me to change each new instance. Quote Link to comment
