Summary

This feature allows you to change the font size used for one or more selected design objects, where applicable.

Such attributes for one or more selected objects can be changed using the Properties panel. Only those attributes common to all selected objects will be presented.

Access

This feature is available in the Schematic Editor only from the Formatting toolbar.

Use

First, ensure that the object whose font size you wish to change is selected in the main design window.

Use the drop-down to choose the specific font size that you wish to apply to the selected design object. As you scroll through and choose different font sizes from the list, the size of the object's text will change accordingly.

Tips

  1. This feature will only be available if applicable to the currently selected object. That is, it has a Font property.
  2. The same range of font sizes is available for each font type - 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 36, 48, 72.
  3. When multiple design objects are selected, only those formatting features common to all will be available for use. Therefore, in order to effectively change the formatting attribute of a group of selected objects, make sure they all support that formatting feature.
