Mass change of text

Post by dpawson » Tue Feb 10, 2009 7:02 pm

I've written quite a bit of text over a drawing which overlays a keyboard
image.

It needs to be larger :-(

Is there any way I can change the font size for multiple small
text entities please

You can do this with the property editor:

- select all you want to change texts (hopefully you placed them all on one separate layer)
- make sure the property editor is displayed (edit - view - toolbars - property editor)
- use the property editor to change the text size or any other text attribute

Using 2.0.5.0 Community edition?

No such menu as
/view/toolbars/property editor?

Mass select, seems I can change the layer line type/thickness
but not the text?

Were you talking of qcad pro Andrew?

Yes, the property editor is available in QCAD Professional only. Please note that there is a separate forum for the QCAD community edition.

Andrew makes a good salesman :-)

Now purchased. Nice tool, nice price. Hopefully I can find the fonts
I want too.


How to find a font with a specific glyph in it?
I want \ (backslash) Unicode code point uX005C
