Text/Dimension Format Painter

[DrGonzo]

Hello,

I may be hallucinating here, but I am looking for a button/tool that I thought was in SW when I was using 2004 a year ago. It "was" similar to the paintbrush button in Excel or Word. Function was to highlight the text/cell that has the desired format, click button and then drag over what you wanted to have the same format. By format I mean Font style/size/etc.

Am I dreaming or what? It would be handy when doing special notes in a drawing that doesn't fit into our predefs on our templates. Could have sworn it was there, but maybe I am thinking ACAD.

TIA,

Gonzo

Did you ever use Mechanical Desktop? It had that function. You could also "paint" your dimensions, and it would copy the # of decimal places, fraction denominator, and even notes such as "O.D.", "TYP", etc.

You should check out "favorites" for text and dimensions. It's similar to what you're looking for.

Yeah...ACAD/ mechanical desktop has that...

Thanks guys, had trouble seeing the monitor through all the smoke

I don't have ACAD, so couldn't check. Will look into the "favorites" thing tho.

Happy Friday by the way...
