ANY WAY TO GLOBALLY CHANGE TEXT HEIGHT?

I HAVE SEVERAL 10 SCALE DRAWINGS I HAVE TO PUT TOGETHER IN ONE SHEET AND THE
SHEET WILL BE AT 20 SCALE, I AM HOPING SOMEONE WILL HELP ME TO AVOID
GRIPPING AND CHANGING IN THE PROPERTIES PALLETTE EVERY PIECE OF TEXT,
HUNDREDS.

THANKS IN ADVANCE.

CASEY

 

User QSELECT in conjunction with the properties palette to pre-select all
text matching a specific height.

 

Select everything on the drawing, then using properties, filter out just the text, change the height. Other problems will arrise, such as stacked text or text from leaders, etc.

 

SCALETEXT works great.

the text, change the height. Other problems will arrise, such as stacked
text or text from leaders, etc.

 

Casey (Note caps and lower case): Explore redefining text style heights. This is an instance that demostrates the usefullness of having text styles.

Hope this helps.

 

Paint! Works for me. Only thing paint does not do to text is change its justification as far as I can ascertain.

 

Madcadd, the paint button is not the "paint" command. it's called "Match
Properties" and in 2004 it's not a "paint" button anymore!

justification as far as I can ascertain.

 

The OP wants to change the text height only. "Paint" (Match Properties)
will also change the text's layer, the color and will rotate it.

 

Matchproperties should change your justification if you have the setting set
to match text......

Thanx Dave,

Yeah I know, but Jello is gelatin, Coke is cola/pop and Paint in AutoCAD is MatchProperties forever.

 

You can try this lsp routine:

; CHGTS.LSP
(defun c:chgts ()
(setvar "cmdecho" 0)
(setq a (ssget))
(setq b (sslength a))
(menucmd "s=textsize")
(setq c (getdist "\nENTER NEW TEXT SIZE: "))
(if (<= c 0.125)(command "-layer" "s" "0" ""))
(if (> c 0.125)
(progn
(if (<= c 0.375)(command "-layer" "s" "0" ""))
(if (> c 0.375)(command "-layer" "s" "0" ""))
)
)
(while (> b 0)
(setq b (1- b)
d (ssname a b)
d (entget d)
e (assoc 40 d)
f (cons 40 c)
)
(entmod (setq d (subst f e d)))
)
(setq a nil)
(princ)
)
