QUICK SURVEY.... Text vs. Rich Text use.

[tommy1]

Text for anything in plan views. Rich text for plan titles and certain plan notes.

For me...It depends on what the text is for.  I have text that I could be changing on a semi-regular basis are rich text.  There are others things such as my general note sheets that I use standard text.  I would say I am about 50/50 on what is RT and regular text.  It sort of comes down to how you want things to look since there are pro's and con's to both types.

I guess I should clarify my use of RT and Text.

 

1.  A great majority of the text in any of my projects is "Labels"and "Dimensions". 

  a.  These are all automatically "Text".

  b.  The Text style for these are all controlled via Layer Sets.

2.  For Room Labels I use a Rich Text Box with different fonts, fill and border

3.  I also have several Tables (similar to Schedules) but created with Ruby Macros

  a.  Most of these require Titles and Headings in different Fonts and Sizes so I use RTBs.

4.  For Layouts

  a.  I use text only on Page 0 - everything else is from the Plan(s)

  b.  All the text on Page 0 is consistent for whatever Layer Set is being used.

  c.  Text or Rich Text works equally well for Page 0
