Comment Font

[m3nth]

I have noticed that LV7 will automatically change the default for the size of comments as you use one particular size, or change the size repeatedly to be smaller or larger. I was wondering what the criteria is for this, ie, what actions will make it shift to a different font size, and where to set this manually if I wanted to.

Are you talking about free label comments (when you just start typing with the Edit Text tool, or about the Description and Tip window fonts?
I wasn't able to see different fonts.
Could you please explain the steps to get the fonts to change.

Yeah, free label comments when you just start typing on the diagram. To get them to change I just change a bunch of labels to be two sizes smaller (Ctrl -) and then eventually it makes that the default and all my free labels are that size as soon as I start typing. It will also do that for the labels of the indicators and controls.

The behavior that I see is that if you press Ctrl- with text highlighted, only that text is modified and the LabVIEW defaults never change. If however, you press Ctrl- with no text highlighted, that's the same thing as selecting the text settings button and changing the default for either the front panel or diagram.

I bet this is what happened... I clicked and pressed Ctrl- so many times that I did it when I didn't have anything selected which changed the default. Thanks...
