Right click on the dimension or text to edit and select "Edit appended text". Then select the text and click on "I"(Italic)

If you are talking about a part based on an old NX template file, the Italic (slant) is embedded in the Template itself.

On the Gtac Grip examples you can find below code

    PRINT/'Global character slant was: &CSLANT = ' + ISTR(&CSLANT)
    IFTHEN/ &CSLANT <> 0
        &CSLANT = 0
        DRAW/ALL
        PRINT/'Global character slant now: &CSLANT = ' + ISTR(&CSLANT)
    ENDIF
    HALT

But how to use this code in NX
If u tell me the specific tool on which tools

You will need a grip license to be able to create the GRX executable file.
The GRX file you can execute using Ctrl-G

Nx 9

Can you please explain your question ?

Do your partfile display texts as "italic" ?
so whatever text you write, it is italic , like this ?

Or ?

Tomas

As far as I can remember CSLANT pre-dates Italics.

I too have a GRIP program for correcting legacy files where designers used a CSLANT value.

NX 9.0.3.4
NX 11.0.2.7 (Testing)
Windows 7 (Windows 8.1 Tablet)

@toost
When i am giving any dimension or text it is coming as slant in Nx and unable to kept as straight
Is there any tool or macro to correct
Please let me known
Grip execute is there but i dont have grip liscense.
So it is possible to use journel and macro.
Note: this italic text is in drawing template drawing itself

 

[NutAce]

Try this one.
It was originally for NX8.5 but should work in NX9 as well (works in NX11)

3 options in there...
1 Set slant to 0 degrees
2 set slant to 15 degrees
3 set slant to free angle

Thank you so much for the help..
Actually for this grip liscense is required if we dont have grip liscense then any other option is there.
With the use of defaults tools in Nx like journal and macro.

Thanks
Deepankar

 

[NutAce]

Sorry to have to disappoint you.
But with journal and macro you cannot remove the CSLANT value.

We can help you change your template file, ( you upload it here, somebody downloads / changes and saves the template / upload back to you) But that does not help existing files.

But, If you are running a version later than NX8.5 the simple solution is to change from the "Unigraphics fonts" to Truetype.
Only the Unigraphics fonts are using the CSLANT variable.

"Unigraphics fonts" is a very old definition, it was developed during the time when pen plotters was the method of printing drawings,
Before inkjets, lasers and electrostats.

Tomas

 

[deepdasr]

Whr to change this unigraphics font to TrueType.

 

[Toost]

Depending on the NX version,
NX10 : Right click - Settings - Lettering - Text parameters ,
The fonts with a Capital "A" in front, such as "Arial" are True Type , the fonts with a NX icon are Unigraphics fonts.
In the image Aurora, Aurora_lt, Ballfont, barcode are Unigraphics fonts.

Regards,
Tomas

 

[deepdasr]

Yes correct we are using unigraphics font which is 'Latin extended'
Earlier it was showing as 'Din'
If we are changing to latin extended still text in slant

 

[Toost]

Are the Latin_extended a Unigraphics font or a True type ?

ALL Unigraphics fonts are affected by the CSLANT.
True Type is not.
