In the steps below you will learn how to edit the default styles and create your own text styles in this software.
Step # 1 – Open the default text styles
To edit text in Autocad you need to know how to view and edit different text styles in this software. To see the text settings, go to the “annotation” panel and open the drop down menu. The text style can be modified and changed into other ones by selecting the styles already given in the dropdown menu.
Step # 2 – Select the “text style” option
To further on customize a setting, click on the “text style” option. Here you are provided with different settings that you can alter.
Step # 3 – Alter default text style

Step # 4 – Create a new text style
For your convenience, you can create a new style that can be used in all of your further drawings. For this simply click the “new” button on the left hand side and enter the name that you wish to give to it. For now we will let it stay as “style1”.
Step # 5 – Save the text style
Now, alter the settings according to your requirement. Change the font and its style as per your wish. The height can also be specified from here.
Below are the “effects” which provide you with various options. You can enter the distance in between the letters, the angle of the letters and can state whether you want them upside down or backwards.
Once you have customized your settings, click “apply” to save them in the current style. Select whichever style you want and press the “close” option to use it in your drawing.
