Bold View Label letter.

Bold View Label letter.

Bold View Label letter.

(OP)
Is possible create custom view label (section, detail,...) with bold letter?

NX 8.5.3.3

RE: Bold View Label letter.

Yes
In the defaults file, there is a setting for the characters used for section views. Add the bold code <B> as a prefix and <b> as a suffix to turn bolding off. You can also set character size, we used 1-1/2 times the height for the section letters. Underline can be set, also.

RE: Bold View Label letter.

If you wish to control the 'style' of the lettering as well as the Font itself for view labels, go to...

Preferences -> Annotation -> Lettering

...and change the font and font style used for the 'General' category of 'Lettering Types'.

This can also be set for new Drawings by making changes to the Drafting Standard in...

Customer Defaults -> Drafting -> General -> Standard -> Lettering

RE: Bold View Label letter.

You only want the letters (A-A) bolded, not the whole thing (SECTION A-A)?
My method used to work, before Siemens redid the customer defaults back to being program controlled instead of a text file.

Letters A-A and description "Section A-A". Where is said setting?

NX 8.5.3.3

RE: Bold View Label letter.

Go to...

Preferences -> View Label...

...and set the type to 'Section'.

RE: Bold View Label letter.

OK, <D> is the density setting for text.
If there is no way to set it, then NX has a regression from what was possible in UG2 V18.

RE: Bold View Label letter.

Did you try setting the box with the letter B in it to <D1>B<D>?

Letter B to <D1>B<D> - show window with "Invalid letter"

RE: Bold View Label letter.

You can set the label weight under Annotation Style, not Edit View Label (at least in 6.0.5.3).

Yes, but I want View label bold as default and other notes without bold.
