    Anyone know of a way to identify what font was used in a previous design? Other than scrolling through every one to find the needle in the font stack.

    I have used that many times and it's definelty useful for finding a font off a copy, but I've noticed font names are not universal so it doesn't seem to match the names in my font files most of the time.

    I'm assuming once you convert from text to graphics in CAD it loses the font identification and just becomes a graphic.

    Correct on the TEXT TO GRAPHICS.

    When I design and doing text Ill save the a line of text with the font seperate so when i open my CDL/EDU I will always know. Chads a TIP dropper today.
