List of Options
The following options are displayed.
Text Formatting Toolbar
Controls the text style for a multiline text object and character and paragraph
formatting for selected text.
NOTE Text that you paste from other word processing applications such as
Microsoft Word will retain most of its formatting. With the options in Paste Special,
you can strip out paragraph formatting such as paragraph-based alignment or
character formatting from the pasted text.
Style Applies a text style to the multiline text object. The current style is saved
in the
TEXTSTYLE on page 2552 system variable.
Character formatting for font, height, and bold or italic attributes is overridden
if you apply a new style to an existing multiline text object. Stacking,
underlining, and color attributes are retained in characters to which a new
style is applied.
Styles that have backward or upside-down effects are not applied. If a style
defined with a vertical effect is applied to an SHX font, the text is displayed
horizontally in the In-Place Text Editor.
Font Specifies a font for new text or changes the font of selected text. TrueType
fonts are listed by font family name. AutoCAD compiled shape (SHX) fonts
are listed by the name of the file in which the fonts are stored. Custom fonts
and third-party fonts are displayed in the editor with Autodesk-supplied proxy
fonts.
A sample drawing (TrueType.dwg) showing each font is provided in the sample
directory.
Annotative Turns Annotative on or off for the current mtext object.
Text Height Sets the character height in drawing units for new text or changes
the height of selected text. If the current text style has no fixed height, the
text height is the value stored in theTEXTSIZE system variable. A multiline
text object can contain characters of various heights.
Bold Turns bold formatting on and off for new or selected text. This option
is available only for characters using TrueType fonts.
Italic Turns italic formatting on and off for new or selected text. This option
is available only for characters using TrueType fonts.
Underline Turns underlining on and off for new or selected text.
Overline Turns overline on and off for new or selected text.
