Problems with TEXT2

Otavio Augusto — Tue, 23 May 2023 14:34:40 GMT

Hello, I'm trying to create an electrical object symbol following the standards of our office, but when writing the 2D drawing script, the TEXT2 command is not respecting the created DEFINE STYLE directive. Does anyone have an idea of why this might be happening?

It's a very simple drawing that is almost ready, I just need to get the text to respect the created style so that the text stays within the 2D drawing.

Below is the line of code referring to the problem with TEXT2 and DEFINE STYLE.

!TESTE FORMA iExample = 4 | ALGUM ERRO EM DEFINE STYLE if iExample = 4 then circle2 0, 0, radius2 circle2 0, 0, radius1 HOTARC2 0, 0, radius2, 0, 360 DEFINE STYLE "3" "Calibri", 0.5, 5, 0 text2{3} 0,0, "TV" endif

i'm sorry if i didn't post in the right forum.

DEFINE STYLE "3" "맑은 고딕", 0.5, 5, 0

style "3"

text2 0,0, "가자TV"

You just defined the font, but didn't set it up for use. And text{2} is a command I don't know, so I tested it by changing it.

I try to reload it to reflect the changes I made. There are times when you can't do this...

circle2 0, 0, radius2

circle2 0, 0, radius1

HOTARC2 0, 0, radius2, 0, 360

DEFINE STYLE 'labeltext' "Calibri",0.5,5,0

SET STYLE 'labeltext'

text2 0,0, "TV"

------------------

The above define style and set style will work but i recommend below:

TEXT_SIZE = TEXT_SIZE *(100/GLOB_SCALE). : redefine the text size to suit the drawing scale

DEFINE STYLE "AAA" fonttype, TEXT_SIZE, 1, 0

SET STYLE "AAA"

TEXT2 0, 0, "TV"

*Recommend adding the parameters over set font type and size in the script. see the sample below.
