CHAPTER 10: Creating and Editing Text > Creating Text Styles
Creating Text Styles
AutoCAD can't help you with your grammar or linguistic style, but it can style the appearance of text. Text styles associate specific fonts, optional text heights, and special effects with text objects. In the following steps, you will create text styles that you will use in the next section when creating text objects.
- Go to the book's web page at www.sybex.com/go/autocad2012essentials, browse to Chapter 10, get the file Ch10-A.dwg or Ch10-A-metric.dwg, and open it.
On the ribbon's Home tab, expand the Annotation panel and open the first drop-down menu (for text styles). Every drawing has both an Annotative and Standard style by default. Select Manage Text Styles at the bottom of the panel (see Figure 10.1).
