Text alignment in editor
Text alignment in editor
(OP)
Hello all,
just upgraded from NX8 to NX10.
Please take a look at the attached picture. Something wrong with fonts in text editor. Is it possible to change it to smth else, to avoid incorrect alignment?
We have lots of drawings with such annotations (old drawings), and it is quite messy to edit them. There were no any problem with NX8. It seems that NX8 used different own font in editor dialog.
Thanks.

But what was changed in NX10? In NX8 (also as I remember NX7) what I can see in text editor, is what I get in a drawing. I made a screenshot from NX8.

That is using the fonts that I tested with.
As John mentioned, it's more than likely that the font being used in NX10 is different to the one used in NX8.
The editor shows AcadEref or Blackfont being used, but neither of those fonts look like the ones on the drawing.
What font is the note in NX8 (RMB the note and select Style to see the font being used)?

Seems that NX10 uses different system font. But where I can change it?
RE: Text alignment in editor
Look for the appropriate .fnx font file in ...\UGII\ugfonts (preferably the one from NX8).
Can you please upload so I can test?

But I think you dont understand me clear. Normschrift is font has nothing to do with font used inside text editor dialog.
RE: Text alignment in editor
Only when I use the normschrift font you supplied can I see the same behaviour in NX8 (which NX10 doesn't do).
You'd have to ask Siemens GTAC about this as I think it's specific to the font being used as well as what version of NX.

If I type my text in the editor I can see directly on my drawing how it looks before I place it.

So how it looks in NX8:

It looks like your NX font is monospaced, pick a system font that is also monospaced for a better representation of what your note will look like when placed.

NX8 is probably set to the default - NX(Recommended) whereas NX10 has been set away from the default to most likely 'Classic with System Font'.
The last two images show that the fonts between versions in the text editor are different.

"This will show you how to change most or all of the default fonts in Windows 7 for Active Title Bar, Icon, Inactive Title Bar, Menu, Message Box, Palette Title, Selected Items, ToolTip, and various Dialog Box text and buttons.

If you change Windows system font, it affects only Windows, but not programs.

It was different in NX8 (there were no need to change windows system font to some monospace font, like courier new).
