2.1.3 - Text Style
Any text in a drawing has a text style associated with this. When you enter text, the program uses the current text style, if you have not created your own text style, AutoCAD has as default the Standard text style.
The current text style sets the font, size, obliquing angle, orientation, default height, and other text characteristics. You can create your own text style, where you set text characteristics you want, and make it current.
Now you'll create a text style called Custom-Standard, which you'll use to add notes to the drawings of your project house99 on which you've been working:
To do this:
- Click Home tab ►on Annotation panel click the arrow icon
the Text Style Dialog box will open (Fig.1.2.0.0).
