Revision Table Font Selection

Revision Table Font Selection

Revision Table Font Selection

(OP)
We use SW 2008 at our organization. In our drawing template for the revision table we have selected Arial - Regular - .09 inches as the default font for the revision table. This setup is found under Tools --> Options --> Document Properties --> Tables --> Revision and looking in the Text area of the Revision dialog box. By clicking on the Font button in the Text area we confirm that we have chosen Arial - Regular - .09 inches. However, if we highlight and look at the properties of the revision table column headers to check the font, we find that they are Century Gothic - Regular - .08 inches. Also, when we actually create the first row in the revision table (revision A, we use the standard default), if we highlight any of the text within the new row to check the font it also is Century Gothic - Regular - .08 inches.

Any suggestions as to why our choice of Arial - Regular - .09 inches as our default font for the revision table gets translated to Century Gothic - Regular - .08 inches in the table itself? I am not that experienced in SW and I am not sure where else to look.

Thanks in advance for any advice that might help,

RE: Revision Table Font Selection

Check your Document Properties under tables and revision. It is also possible that you have something selected to use document default if your document is set to default to cent goth.

Found it...I forgot that the template settings override the local machine settings. We fixed the revision table defaults at the location of the table where the template pointed, problem solved.
