Using Default Values

This task shows you how to use default values. To understand how to set as default an element properties, see Setting As Default Properties.
1. Create the following text, see Creating a Free Text

2. Select properties in the contextual menu (right-click). In font tab, select the bold italic style and in text tab increase the line spacing to 5 mm.

Click ok. 
The text looks like this

3. Select the Set as default option from the contextual menu.

The values you set are stored.

Click in the drawing to finish the creation.
4. Select the font SSS1 in the Text Properties Toolbar.
5. Select the Original Properties option from the style toolbar to specify that from now, you  want to use the software default options apart from the Text Properties toolbar settings.

6. Create a new text.

The line spacing is equal to 0 mm and the font is regular. 

Original Properties (that is to say the settings defined in the Text Properties toolbar) are taken into account.
7. Select the User Default Properties option from the style toolbar to specify that you  want to use the options set by default (see step 2.) apart from options set in the Text Properties toolbar.

8. Create a new text.


In this example you have modified the font in the Text Properties  toolbar, the new text will be created with default settings (see step 2.) apart from the font.

User Default Properties (that is to say the settings set as default, apart from those defined in the Text Properties toolbar) are taken into account.

9. Select the Only User Default Properties option from the style toolbar to specify that you  want to use only the options set by default (see step 2.).

10. Create a new text.

Only User Default Properties (that is to say only the settings set as default) are taken into account.
