Breakdown of configuration options
Command affected: KEYLIST
This is where you specify the properties for the title text for the
keynote list.
Font name: This is where you name
the font that the APS system uses for this type of text. The default name is
shown in the image above but you may change it to whatever you like. This
value was added in APS-2007 because we found that some clients have CAD
standards that require fonts to use a specific font name.
Font file: Press the "Browse..." button to browse for the font file to use for
this text style. You may select a
standard AutoCAD text font file .SHX, a true type
font .TTF (how
to specify a TrueType font), or a .PFB/.PFA font file to use
for this text. This style may be used just as you would
any other text style, but this one will always use the values defined here.
Color and lineweight: Select the color and lineweight for the text (how
to select colors). If you are using release 14 or earlier the
lineweight value will have no effect, but we encourage you to set it so you
won't have to later when you upgrade.
Text Height: Enter the height that you would like the text to be. This height value
should be what you would use in a full scale drawing (scale factor = 1.0). The
actual size of the text that is created is
scaled with the scale of the drawing so it will always be the correct size.
Width Factor: Enter the width factor that you would like for
this text style.
Command affected: KEYLIST
This is where you specify the properties for the text for the keynote list definitions.

Width Factor: Enter the width factor that you would like for
this text style.
Command affected: KEYLIST
Often when using various font styles for the keynote list definitions an
adjustment to the text wrap will need to be made. Specify a value here that will
allow the text in the keynote list to fill the entire width of the
list without extending beyond the border (if shown). 1.0 is normal but you may
specify a larger value to get the text to go farther to the right before
wrapping to the next line. A scale factor less than 1.0 will make the lines of
text shorter. This value must be larger than zero. It may take several tries to
find the perfect value to use for the font style you select.
