Callout Font Size

Callout Font Size

Callout Font Size

(OP)
Hi All,

Is there a quick method of changing the font size on individual callouts, instead of wading though the properties?

Sure I can change the font Scale with the drop-down box, but I feel this is not correct.

Also I'm certain that I could copy & paste balloon annotations in V20, but in ST I cannot. Is this a bug or a feature winky smile

I could also copy & Paste a mixture of callouts & Balloon annotations in V20 but not in ST2, I assume that is due to the not being able to copy balloon annotations.

RE: Callout Font Size

You could create a new style, based on the original but with a different font size, and then set the annotation to use that style. That's a quick change without having to do properties etc.
I've had different ones called 'ISO 5mm' , 'ISO 4mm' etc.
This is what really bugs me about ST. We have all that space used up by the edge bar, but you still have to click other buttons to get to the properties settings - why isn't it just there on the edge bar?
Copy/Paste seems to work for me in ST1. I just tried it on a balloon with a callout added to it.
Selecting then CTRL+Drag also works.

Hi Beachcomber,

Thanks for the font tip, once again the simple things escaped me, it seems that's the the only logical route, for our American friends that's route winky smile



 

RE: Callout Font Size

It might also be a good idea to add the new styles to your template files.
