Controls the output of user-specified dynamic fonts on the isometric drawing.

Open the grid, and then define the attributes listed below as needed.

  • Number specifies the Isogen font number. This value is used to cross-reference Isogen control options to determine which fonts should be used on the isometric drawing. The value that you enter must be 3 digits and cannot exist in the Isogen font information (FIF) file (Fontstd.fif). The first 300 numbers are reserved exclusively for use in the FIF file. As such, the value you enter must be 301 or higher.

  • Name specifies the name of the user-specified font. The TrueType font name that you type enter must already be installed on the computer. Type the name of the font exactly as it appears in the C:\Windows\Fonts folder.

    SHARED Tip The TrueType font name that you type enter must already be installed on the computer. Type the name of the font exactly as it appears in the C:\Windows\Fonts folder.

  • Correction Factor specifies the factor by which the width of characters are adjusted so that the font neither falls short of nor overlaps the boxes/gaps that are provided for the text on the drawing. The default setting is 1. Typically, this value is adjusted up or down by 1 or 2 after viewing the isometric drawing output.

  • AutoCAD Style Name specifies the AutoCAD text style name.

  • Microstation Number specifies the MicroStation-specific index number of the required font. This option is required only if you want to view the correct font on the screen.

  • Multibyte Width specifies the factor by which the width of all multibyte characters are adjusted so that the font neither falls short of nor overlaps the boxes/gaps that are provided for the text on the drawing. The default setting is 2. Typically, this value is adjusted up or down by 1 or 2 after viewing the isometric drawing output.

The value that displays on the Dynamic Fonts icon is a count of how many attributes have been defined for output in the user-defined cut list. The example below indicates that three attributes are currently defined.
