Distance measurement tool

Post by asbic consultants ltd »

In Viewer (or Editor) how do you change the font type or size in the distance tool?

Thanks in advance

Hello Bruce,

Make a distance measurement, then double click the actual text shown. This will open a pop-up window. Select the text in it, and then open the properties pane (Ctrl+'), and you can then change the font and size from there.

That works Ok in Editor thanks.

However in Viewer when I highlight the text in the pop up box the properties toolbar choices are all greyed out out except for "make default"

I know Editor is supposedly the better program but there are so many thinks I prefer in Viewer!

Hello asbic consultants ltd,

Thanks for the post. As the viewer is no longer under development, this feature will not be added. The Editor has replaced the Viewer as our main focus for development.

You are more than welcome to use the Viewer, however minor bugs with the viewer will be not be addressed in less also present in the Editor, at which point a resolution in the Editor will be released.

Sorry for the inconvenience!
