Font Style Panel

Default Font Panel

The Default Font panel provides a user interface to specify font and associated text appearance settings for new text graphics.

These default settings work with text boxes, these settings do not apply to Annotation text or Dimension text. Default font and appearance for Annotations and Dimensions are set with the Current button found on the corresponding parameter palettes.

This palette is accessed from the on the Font Submenu found at the top of the Text main menu.

The Default Font palette defines the font settings used when creating new text in EazyDraw. It provides a central place to control the base font, text color, and background color that will be applied automatically, without requiring manual setup for each new text object. Access this palette from the Text main menu, Font submenu. Click Set Current as Default to apply.

Additional typographic attributes not present on the parameter palette such as size, weight, alignment, spacing, and advanced text styling - are derived from the current text selection on the drawing.

A common workflow when using the Default Font palette is to first choose the scope - App, Drawing, or Layer - depending on how broadly the defaults should apply. For example, setting the scope to Drawing allows you to establish consistent text styling for a single document without affecting other drawings

Next, select the Font, Text Color, and Background Color in the Default Font palette. These settings define the initial appearance of any new text objects you create. Existing text objects are not altered.

As you work, you can refine typography by selecting text directly on the drawing. All advanced attributes - such as font size, weight, alignment, spacing, and other typographic details - are taken from the selected text and edited using the standard text tools. This approach combines a simple, predictable default with full control over detailed text styling where needed.
