Hey gang, new user here....
Our Autocad setup uses archstyle.shx. I have set up our office template for Revit using a handdrawn font called HANDSFN.TTF.
In Revit, text comes out looking fine (12'-0", for example), but dimension text comes out looking like 12' - 0". It appears that there is a space on both sides of the "-". Is there a way to format dimension text to appear as regular text?
Thanks bunches

If you go to Settings-Annotations-Dimensions-Linear, you are given the properties of linear dimension, which infludes text, spacing, units, etc. That should get you what you want.
Quick questions, what does this font look like, I've been looking for a nice architectural handwritten font to use in our offices Revit projects. Thanks.

That didnt work I'm surpriced. Sorry that it didnt work. I checked it out and its something predefined that we can't mess with. There is no width text factor that one can mess with like one can in plain ACAD.

How do I globaly set the font in Revit to "StylusBT"? This the font our office has agreed to use as a standard. I change the font for notes, but the titles remain in Arial. This has to be easy. I just don't know which button to push to make it happen. All comments welcome. Thank you.

Can't do it. Have to change the text for all the tags (with the exception of elevation tags, those you can change under Settings_View Tags_Elevations) the rest are under the family for the tags. The text you can change in the properties of the text. The dimensions are the same, you can also go to Setting_Annotations_Dimensions Linear and make the changes there. Hope this helps.

I have recently moved to a company that has been using revit in a large capacity but without really setting standards. I'm in the process of trying to remedy this situation. I'm currently using the "stylus BT" font but would like to move to something a little more architectural, I've seen everyone tossing around font names (i.e. "handsfn.ttf" but I haven't been able to find any samples of some of these fonts to preview before asking the company to purchase. In addition, I've gotten new D and E size titleblocks designed but I'm having trouble finding a format (other than the revit standard) for an 8.5x11 for sketches. If anyone has a sketch titleblock that I can reference in order to set up our sheet.

Attached are the the architectural fonts that I use at my office. Hope these files can help you. Regarding the titleblocks Revit has a 8.5x11 titleblock in the program that you can change, or you can create a new titleblock family by going to File_New_titleblock, and make the sheet whatever size you want. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the file, I'm sure it'll help. As for the titleblock I'm familiar with the revit layout, I'm just looking for some other examples that I can reference to create my own. You know, combine the best portions of all I can find into one. Thanks again
