Is Bold Text Possible?

AmaMich

I know how to change my text, Edit > Change, and then use the options menu on the left. But, I don't know how to change the style of the text. I don't mind the font necessarily, but I want large, bold text but as far as I can tell size 13 is the largest and the font itself is very thin.

I was also wondering why the "text block" size is not linear? It seems to go up to 40 something, yet as far as I can tell size 13 is the largest with 12 and 14 being smaller.

Changing the line width doesn't do anything either, my command window just says "Text already matches option panel settings". 

I've searched other posts and haven't seen anything similar to this, 

Can anyone help?

    Yes! It's possible!

     

    Go to Setup > Design Parameters

     

    Hit the Text tab

     

    Set up Text Sizes

     

    Adjust your text block sizes from this menu.

    In the Text Setup form you can specify a Photo Width for a given Text Block which in effect will make the text bold depending on the width you choose.

    You can access the Text Setup form from Setup Menu > Design Parameters... under the Text Tab and click the button next to "Setup text sizes". Once there you will see a list of all the Text Blocks defined in the database and this is where you will change the Photo Width for a given Text Block.

    The database defaults to 16 different Text block definitions from smallest to largest sizes.  These text blocks are specific to a database so if you place a symbol which had modified Text Block sizes it will attempt to match the size but if an exact match is not found it will automatically create a new Text Block number to support unique Text Block definition.

    Hope this helps,
