Setting a fixed-height text style can make using the MTEXT command when drafting in landscape a lot easier. Here is a design by a Scandinavian landscape designer. We set a new style with a height of 150 units. Once that style is made current, any text placed into the MTEXT editor is automatically placed in the drawing at an appropriate 150 units high, obviating the need to change text height manually.
We also show that the same approach to dimension styles makes it easy to find a dimensioning style that meets changing needs in a drawing of ‘details’.
This movie shows how to set up a text style with fixed height such that the MTEXT command works in a much smoother way. MTEXT entities do not require as much editing. Similarly, drafting efficiency can be improved by creating a series of named dimension styles.
