Is there a way you can configure what font (and size) should be used by default for any textual object or model attribute? That definition should preferably also be used when "resetting character formatting".
Changing font formats for the design server or for an aris database has no impact other than how textual attributes are displayed in models - not when examining an object's/model's attributes...
We allow for formatted attribute values, but since specific formatting is not always used, attribute values for a specific type of attribute sometimes are formatted and sometimes not. In report-scripts, we check if an attribute contains a formatted value or not, and output the attribute value accordingly. Our Corporate standard font for "normal" text in Word documents is Times New Roman - so this is hard-coded in reports for non-formatted attribute values.
Since Aris' default font for textual attributes is Arial you (in reports) end up with formatted attribute values in (mostly) Arial (or, if the Aris-user explicitly changed font - any other font), and non-formatted in Times New Roman.
Hi Alexander,
regardless of what I do with font formats and templates (Administration -> Conventions -> Font formats or Templates), font is always reset to Arial 10 if I do a "reset character formatting" on any textual attribute (or if i create an object without any occurrence). Am I missing something?
I want the default unformatted attribute format to be something I can configure, not hard-coded Arial 10. That format should be used whenever an attribute value is specified initially and regardless of if that attribute value is displayed in a model or not. That same definition should also be used when removing explicit formatting of textual attributes.
Hi Vincent
I can suggest you the following steps to change the font format to specific symbols.
Step 1: Create a new font format or change the existing "standard" font
Step 2: Change the default template or creat your own
Step 3:Enter the edit mode and go to step place symbole attributes/ there you select the symbol you want to change and enter attribute name and set the font format as you like.
If you want to change the font format to the entire filer I would suggest you change just the standard font template to your designated font.
Hope that helps

Alex
