Topic Title

Is there a toolbar code that will load a text style from the Text, Font dialogue box, including all the setting contained in the text style?

No direct function code number that I know of, but you can use

^;^S6^F7^nameof.txtstyle$^

just tested Josh's code, and it works.
Now if the Save Text Style would include the Font name, it would be great.

The only problem with Text Styles is that they don't set the Line Factor for PText & MText. Below is the code I have for my Text Context Menu, which sets the factor properly too. I use the first part - Text Styles Dropdown - in another toolbar for quick access to the text style I want from anywhere in DataCAD. Big thanks to Josh Huggins - I programmed this toolbar long ago based on his site (I think some of the toolbar buttons are still the ones I got from him). Additional buttons are PText, PText Resize, Alignments.

Thanks to everyone - I have them working now thanks to everyone.

The font name not being saved in the text style is a bug that has been reported and I have it on good authority that it will be fixed for the next update.

Another good reason to have a the current subscription edition

The only problem with Text Styles is that they don't set the Line Factor for PText & MText.

Hmm, it works for me.

Big thanks to Josh Huggins - I programmed this toolbar long ago based on his site (I think some of the toolbar buttons are still the ones I got from him).

I too would not be customizing toolbars without Mr. Huggins assistance.

As I mentioned, I have the toolbars working well.

Is there a direct code to turn text boundaries on and off in PText?

Not yet.

If I load a Text Style from the Font (F7) option in the Text menu, it sets the factor there, but not in PText & MText. If I load a Text Style from the Font (F1) option in either the ParaText or MText menu, it sets the factor fot ParaText & MText, but not for regular text.

Yep, they are 2 separate variables. Are you wanting it to set the Factor for all types of text no matter where the dialog is invoked from?

Since it sets the font for both, I thought it should set the factor for both as well. I'm ok with leaving it how it is because I have my toolbar set to fix it for me when I change my Text Styles.

AllRightyThen!

I thought those buttons looked rather sexy
