can I change the door & window label font type

**charlesu** · 05-01-2010, 01:42 PM

I tried a search but could not find a clear answer.....

Can you change the font int the door and window bubble???

Thanks in advance..

Look in the schedule defaults.

**charlesu** · 05-01-2010, 01:59 PM

The schedule default has already been changed to the new font type and it does not change the label.

Sorry Charles, misread the question. No way that I'm aware of. Schedules continue to improve with each version, but IMHO they aren't ready for prime time. There are a few things like this that are not functional, and a few things that, once you set up, you cannot undo.

Thanks Warren, that is what I figured, but I thought someone had a workaround.

To change the font you musty now put in a NEW schedule. Changes to the defaults do not effect the existing schedule.

Scott is correct. Delete the schedule and then place it again, and any changes you made in "Defaults>Schedules>Doors>Labels" will take effect.

This behavior is the same for room labels. Existing labels will not change after changing the default. You would delete existing, make changes, and then turn them on again for changes to take effect.

I think if you ctrl plus x to a schedule and then Ctrl plus C will work.
Copy and delete
Paste hold position

Just trying it this morning, and the label responds to the Default adjustment right away, with no messing with the schedule.

That's all well and true, until you place the schedule and the bubbles appear. Regardless of what font you set for the schedules, the font for the bubbles is consistently arial (or something similar). The information in the bubbles does not correspond to the label, it corresponds to the number field in the schedule, and that can't be edited. That's a separate but related bug. The question is, how can the font for the bubbles be changed?

You're right Warren, no way to change the font that I can see. I was referring to the size, but that was not the question.

I believe you can change the font in both the bubble and the schedule via the defaults.

Scott, could you have a look; It changes the schedule font, but not the bubble.

**dshall** · 05-02-2010, 09:12 AM

Open the window schedule and go to the label tab and I believe you can select a different font there. I am not at the correct computer to verify this.
