Default Font Selection

Default TTF Selection

AutoXChange can automatically set the Default TrueType Font based on the CodePage defined in the AutoCAD DWG drawing. If the CodePage is not defined then the Default Font will be Arial.ttf.

See the section Font Parameters from the Parameter Interface for more details and direct parameter controls.

Default BigFont Selection

AutoXChange can automatically set the Default BigFont based on the CodePage defined in the AutoCAD DWG drawing. If the CodePage is not defined then the Default BigFont will not be set. Of course, if the Default BigFont Parameter is set then that value will be used instead of the selection based on the CodePage.

See the section Font Parameters from the Parameter Interface for more details and direct parameter controls.
