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.

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.

image\EditTextDimMenu_shg.gif 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.

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.

image\EditTextDimMenu_shg.gif Position
