Make changes in the text and dimensions contained in your drawing.
Most of these commands produce dialog boxes that were used in the original creation of the text and/or dimensions.
Text
You will be prompted to "Select the text or dimension to change." Make your selection by clicking on any part of the dimension or text—arrows, extension lines, dimension lines, or text.
Font
Change the font of an individual dimension or text. SURFCAM will prompt you to "Select the text or dimension to change fonts." After you make your selection, the font dialog box will be displayed so you can change the font.
Explode
Change text to geometry to machine or engrave. Select Explode, and then Select the text to instantly change it to geometry. It cannot be changed back to text.
Create new styles for your text and dimensions that will apply to your entire drawing.
Position
Change the position of an existing dimension. You will be prompted to "Select the dimension to edit." Reposition the dimension and click the left mouse button.
Style Number
Change the style for the entire drawing to one you created with the above Style command.
Change the style properties for an individual dimension so it will have a style different from the rest of the drawing.
