Using TEXTFILL

314 views
 Have you sometimes encountered a scenario, when you plot your drawing then the TEXT in your drawing appeared only as an outline? (Fig.1) but if you look at it in AutoCAD it is appear as normal filled text. This happen specially if you are using the ARIAL type kind of fonts.

 Sometimes this thing happens because the value of the TEXTFILL was set in zero (0)by default the value of TEXTFILL is one (1).

So what is TEXTFILL?

TEXTFILL, is an AutoCAD command serve as to control the fillings of  TrueType fonts while plotting and rendering. You might wanna ask why the TEXTFILL value was set to zero (0) when the default should be one (1). The only scenario I can think of is, maybe the drawing that you are doing was just saved in a existing AutoCAD drawing file, and maybe the author of that existing AutoCAD file changed the default value of the TEXTFILL from (1) to (0).

Anyhow, if happens that you’re in this situation, just type-in TEXTFILL at the command prompt, then changed its value from zero (0) to one (1).

The next time you plot your drawing the TEXT will appear as it is in the image above.
