ProStructures Help

Fonts Section

The Fonts section of the CSV file starts with the line:

%section,Fonts

It contains the following columns:

Column Contents
Font The name or number of the source font to remap. The icon in the Font column provides an easy way to populate that column with the Fonts that are available in ProStructures. When you click on that icon, an Excel macro contacts ProStructures, retrieves the current fonts and inserts those that are not already in the table at the top of the table. ProStructures must be running and have an active design file for this operation to succeed.

Optional. Qualifiers that refine the elements for which the remapping is performed.
FontType The font type. This column can be blank, or contain one of the values USTN, SHX or TT for ProStructures, AutoCAD SHX, or TrueType fonts, respectively. If the entry is blank for a particular row, the remapper finds the first font with the name specified in the Font column. If there is more than one font with the same name but different type (for example, a Courier TrueType font and a Courier SHX font) then two rows are required in the table to map them both.
V8OutputFont The name of the font when saved to a V8 file.
V8OutputFontType The type of the font. This can be blank, or one of the values USTN, SHX, or TT. If left blank, the remapper finds the first font with the name specified.
DWGOutputFont The name of the font when saved to DWG or DXF file.
DWGOutputFontType This must be one of the values SHX or TT.
OutputWidthFactor If this column is not blank, then the width of every remapped text or tag element is multiplied by the factor specified. The factor must be greater than 0.
OutputHeightFactor If this column is not blank, then the height of every remapped text or tag element is multiplied by the factor specified. The factor must be greater than 0.
