Hi!

I have this problem when searching to change my dimension fonts.

I go to Annotate->Dimension->Linear (or Angular) dimension types 

and I duplicate, and I search to make an Arial Font instead of the ISOCPEUR there is.

However the Apply button is grey. I click OK, the new type of dimension exist like choice, but when I choose it, the Apply button is allways grey.

Is something I miss? I dont use view template.

Thank you.

PS. The same also happens when I want to change font on my text and go to Annotate->Text->etc  the the Apply button is allways grey.

So something must going on here that I havent seen yet.

You pick the style from the text styles you already have set up so create the textstyle using Ariel, then use that.

I am sorry but I dont understand.

I havent done that by ''go to Annotate->Dimension->Linear (or Angular) dimension types 

and I duplicate, and I search to make an Arial Font instead of the ISOCPEUR there is allready ''and without success because the Apply button is allways grey.. ?

Or you mean something else or similar?

Ok.

I am sorry if I made mistake to explain exactly what happens.

I can edit a new text style, BUT I can't make the new style the used one. Only the ''Standardmåttsättning'' style (see photo 1), is the used one regardless if I change it to any of the other 4. (When I try to change the style to any of the other 4,  the Apply button is allways grey and only the ok button works).

I can change style only if I change the ''Standardmåttsättning'' style directly and not by duplicate it. (is it normal?)

I hope it is more clear now.

Buttom line, is there a way to use the other 4 styles, and what is the method?

It looks like you already have the dimension styles set although you don't pull down that slider to show what text is assigned to the style.  I assume that Standardxxxxariel one has ariel assigned.

When you dimension, you pick the dimension style from the ones you have available or you place a dimension and change its style after placement.

It seams that I put two times the same reply.

I dont know what happened but now the new style remain.

The only different thing I di was to change dirrectly the ''lets say original style''. Now even if I reopen the file the new style made by me remain.

I don't know exactly what happened. 

I will try the same also with the text style, because I had the same proble.

Thank you for helping.

For me this Thread can close.
