How to retain text font in a custom symbol
How to retain text font in a custom symbol
(OP)
I attempted to make a custom symbol as part of our drawing border title block, but I cannot find the magic potion to retain the text font type (chosen to closely emulate our company logo).
When I insert an instance of my custom symbol the helios text font is replaced with blockfont.
Can anyone fill me in?
Thanks,

Try creating a note and changing the font to helios, then try to insert the custom symbol. If that works you may have to update your template part(s) to contain the helios font.

It would be great if you (or someone) could try the simple test above on their system to let me know if it is just my system that does this.

Anyway, 'Use Definition' is the selection I made originally, but it still swaps out my font when I place the custom symbol instance. How does this test out for you? Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
