VBA - Add style to Text

[katto01]

Hello,

I have this routine to add text in AutoCAD.

I was wondering if I could set the font size, type and color. Could not find any reference to this.

 

Thank you

 

Public Sub AddMyTextHeight(xx, yy, HEIGHT, XC, textString)
Dim textObj As AcadText
Dim insertionPoint(0 To 2) As Double
insertionPoint(0) = xx
insertionPoint(1) = yy 
insertionPoint(2) = 0
Set textObj = ThisDrawing.ModelSpace.AddText(textString, insertionPoint, HEIGHT)
textObj.color = XC
End Sub

You can assign a style, but not a font.

 

If you setup a style first, like "Arial" using the Arial font - you could do this:

 

textObj.StyleName = "Arial"

 

Font size would be the Height property

 

textObj.Height = 12

 

Color isn't listed as property for AcadText, but I can assign it. There is also the TrueColor property, using RGB values

 

You can get more information at this AutoDesk page on AcadText for more information.

Find and open your "acadauto.chm" file. It's invaluable.

 

Try looking in c:\program files\common files\autodesk shared\

 

I would attach a copy but i can't upload it
