    Default AutoCAD 2016 Multiline text standard

    Greetings,
    I have attached a screen shot of the multiline text UI. I would like to get rid of the text list, except for our standard 3/32".
    If i leave choices in, someone will pick them. I have tried editing, purging etc. but can not clear this list!
    Even worse, when a person starts a new drawing, it defaults to 3/16"!! What the What!
    Any ideas,

    thank you
    james

    Default Re: AutoCAD 2016 Multiline text standard

    The default text size will be the size of the last piece of mtext created. In your template create some mtext at the right size then delete it. It should then always default to that when starting a new drawing.

    Regarding the other sizes, it seems it will add any size that mtext has been created in the drawing and the only way I can think to reset that list is to start a new empty template and make sure the first bit of mtext created is the size you want. But I maybe wrong on this part.

    Default Re: AutoCAD 2016 Multiline text standard

    one could add the line
    (SETVAR "TEXTSIZE" 0.09375)
    to acaddoc.lsp. that should ensure that the default that pops up is always 3/32"
