Linking Dimensions to Text

[jcoe]

We are using the Technic font with Italics for our general annotations. Is there a way to link this with dimension text. There does not seem to be an option to Italicize dimension text in the properties dialogue box.

Thank you in advance.

Under the dimension properties, you can change the dimension font to Technic, but you would need to have a Technic Italic TTF font loaded if you wished to match the annotation text.

Is the font standard with Revit software or is this something that I need to acquire from somewhere else? Also, where does Revit keep the fonts stored? I looked for them, but was unable to find it. Is it a hidden folder?

Thanks beegee.

Revit doesn't supply fonts, it uses the TTF fonts that are in your Windows fonts folder.

In mine I have a Technic and a Technic Bold, but not an Italic. I'm sure you should be able to get one though. Once you do, it may be worth using that for your annotations also, since it may look slightly different to the standard Technic with the Italic over-ride.
