Text spacing in drafting not uniform
Text spacing in drafting not uniform
(OP)
Hello,
We are using a modified ANXI.xml drafting standard and I'm sure this must be an option somewhere, but basically when we place a cumulate (ordinate) dimension, and then just place regular text, the spacing is not lining up. See attached .jpg for a screenshot of this. You can see the first line is the cumulate dimension with text afterward, while the last 2 lines are are just typed text. The spacing on the font and even on the numbers is not the same, even though the text size is the same, and they are both using "Swis721 BT" font (the only font our drafting standard allows).
I'm thinking this is either an internal CATIA issue, or there is a setting in the drafting standards I can change to correct this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Just trying to help!
Could it be the size of your first text is slightly larger than the other and there for it creates more spacing between the information?
I would check the annotation size and see if there is something different between both.

The problem is that when the catadmin set up your setting he set a custom spacing and/or ratio for the dimetion text. you need to also have your notes spacing set to the same spacing and/or ratio if you want them to be drop in notes and not modify each one.
now to fix this print.
go to the notes properties.
under the "font" tab modify the ratio and/or spacing and click apply.
you will need to do this to each note. you may be able to preselect all of them and modify the properties all at once..
good luck

You can also edit the actual ANXI.XML file, but that's becomes a pain.

So, thanks everyone, that definitely did the trick!

To avoid bothering admins, I would use Copy Object Format icon...
