Overview

BricsCAD  provides a variety of tools that deal with adding and editing text. You can work with single lines of text in your drawings, as well add multiple paragraphs .

The TEXT command creates single line text, while the MTEXT command creates text entities which consist of multiple lines.

Text Styles

A text style determines the appearance of the text characters in your drawing. It defines text properties such as the font, height and obliquing angle.

New text is created using the current text style by default, but you can choose a different text style in the insert text procedures or assign a different text style when editing the text.

Text Font

Two font types can be used: SHX fonts and TTF fonts.

SHX font (compiled shape font) files sit in the Fonts folder of the BricsCAD installation folder (e.g. C:\Program Files\Bricsys\BricsCAD\Fonts).

TTF (True Type Font) files sit in the Fonts folder of Windows (e.g. C:\Windows\Fonts).
