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.
Undo Undoes actions in the In-Place Text Editor, including changes to either
text content or text formatting.
Redo Redoes actions in the In-Place Text Editor, including changes to either
text content or text formatting.
Stack Creates stacked text, for example, fractions, if the selected text contains
stack characters. Also, unstacks text if stacked text is selected. When the stack
characters, carat (^), forward slash (/), and pound sign (#), are used, the text
to the left of the stack character is stacked on top of the text to the right.
By default, text that contains a carat converts to left-justified tolerance values.
Text that contains the forward slash converts to center-justified fractional
numbers; the slash is converted to a horizontal bar the length of the longer
text string. Text that contains the pound sign converts to a fraction separated
by a diagonal bar the height of the two text strings. The characters above the
diagonal fraction bar are bottom-right aligned; the characters beneath the
diagonal bar are top-left aligned.
Text Color Specifies a color for new text or changes the color of selected text.
You can assign text the color associated with the layer it is on (BYLAYER) or
the color of the block it is contained in (BYBLOCK). You can also select one
of the colors in the color list or click Other to open the
