Breakdown of configuration options
Commands affected: LTITL,
LTITLC
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.
Width Factor: Enter the width factor that you would like for
this text style.
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.
Commands affected: STITL,
STITLC, Room Symbol
(unless customized, the room symbol's two room names and
room number attributes use the APS-STITLE text style which uses this font style)

Character(s) for degree symbol in above font:
Enter the symbol or symbols that will create the degree symbol ( ° ) in the text
style created by the "notes" font file selected
above. Most text styles will use %%d to
create the degree symbol but some like the "Archstyl"
text style use other characters ( ^ = ° in the "Archstyl"
text style)
