Setting the Default Text Parameters

The initial (default) text parameters can be set. Once the default is set, all added text—in the current drawing or any other—has the specified font, size, style, justification, and line-spacing settings until the settings are changed.

To set default text settings:

1.	Ensure that no objects or text are selected in the drawing.

If needed, click the selection arrow on an empty portion of the drawing.

2.	From the Text menu, select the text options to change. See Formatting Text for descriptions of available options.

Alternatively, the default text size can be changed from the Set Size command.

To specify the default text size:

1.	Ensure that no objects or text are selected in the drawing.

If needed, click the selection arrow on an empty portion of the drawing.

2.	Select Text > Size > Set Size.

The Set Text Size dialog box opens.

3.	Select the desired unit of measure, enter the font Size, and then click OK.

If text or objects containing text are selected when changes are made in the Set Text Size dialog box, the size changes are applied to the selected items.
