NX Fonts

[jerry1423]

Do all the fonts that are included with NX have a number associated to them?

for example blockfont is <F1>
I assume that the fonts that are numbered 1-14 are still that way, but the newer fonts do not have a number associated to them.
I am on NX6

It depends on the order in which the Fonts were added to your part file. Blockfont is always #1 since it's always there by default and therefore occupies the first 'slot'.

I would advice that if you're setting up a new system and there's a chance that you will need to use a consistent set of multiple fonts, that before you start to create parts, including any template parts, that you set-up the first 14 fonts using...

Customer Defaults -> Drafting -> General -> Lettering Fonts

On a similar thread,

Does anyone know if it is possible to create your own custom line fonts that are not based upon dots & dashes?

EG could a font be created to make a single line on a drawing / models really stand out by say making it a completely different style? A line of XXXXXX etc?

Cheers in advance

At one time you could, but that was nearly 30 years ago.
