Mike Twining Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Can someone tell me how I can get a Drawing View Name font underlined? I have done it before (in fact, I have a template that works fine), but I can't seem to find the option to Explicitly underline a view name font anymore. Thanks!

IronKevin Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 The only way I can see to underline the view name is to add the Scale label and then the underline option is available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Twining Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 Right... but I don't want the scale. I have a working template where the actual FONT is underlined. It was probably built in an earlier version, so it appears to me as if there was a loss of functionality somewhere along they way. I would definitely like to get this ability back.

Cary OConnor Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Can you upload the template? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Twining Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 Here is one I am talking about. (Again... this must have been created in an earlier version; no earlier than v9; but it has been saved in v11). 11.0_SH1.icd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKevin Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Mike, I'm running V9 here and I still don't see an option for underlined text for the view name labels. Call me if you want to run V9 remotely and show me how you set this up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cary OConnor Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Your font that you are using has a built in Underline. (at least I think. I can see that there is a MS Sans - 22U - Center font that may be set?) Cary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronKevin Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 No, because even changing font, the text stays underlined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonas@Solidmakarna Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 There's a Text Style named "MS Sans - 22 U - Center", it's almost as the view has been using it when it was created in some way. But changing that Text Style won't affect the view. And there are no text settings like these for View Text, are there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Twining Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 (edited) Your font that you are using has a built in Underline. (at least I think. I can see that there is a MS Sans - 22U - Center font that may be set?) Cary 26942[/snapback] I've got several Text styles set up for Faking information (including view names). The one you reference is the style we use for fakes. I would LOVE to be able to set my View Labels to use that Text Style, but the v11.1.1 "View" drawing element only has limited options for Font setting for (I assume) the default View Name fonts. Jonas- I feel like there used to be a way to assign a Text Style to a View Label. Perhaps there is a missing "Drawing Element" (like "View Label") in the "Styles & Layers" interface.

IronKevin Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 V8 had a Drawing Element called "View Labels" where you could specify a Text Style so this template must have originated from V8. We'll have to add the "View Labels" element back into the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you import the Styles and layers from the original template into a blank one and you can use the imported "View" style to get an underlined View font.
