We just went from X5 to X7. A feature I used alot in X5 that really helped that I can't seem to get to work in X7 is having an existing font type used in and existing drawing default in the font pull down.
Example, we do alot of nametags and nameplates for alot of folks and it's easier to copy and paste in the names they send via email. 9 times out of 10 the font in the email is not the font used for the drawing file. What I used to do was open the drawing, select the text icon "A" and once I got the text curser, I'd Ctrl-C the text in. Then I'd select/hightlight an existing name and the font appears in the text/font pull down widow in the text bar. So when I select the pasted in text and then go to the font pull down, the last used/selected font would have defaulted to first thing I'd see.
Now in X7, it doesn't do that, you have to select the existing font, remember it, esp. MT/MD/BT/BK etc. esp if you have 20 versions of the same font and then scroll till you find it.
How can I get X7 to do what it did in X5?
FWIW, there is another thread about the same thing, you can find it here.
Claude from Corel explains the change:
"MRU stands for "Most recently USED" font aka : the last ones you applied : Not the last ones you selected.Prior to Update 4, selecting objects in the page would affect the MRU list which was in fact an error in the code.Only applying a font to a text object was meant to affect the MRU list.It seems that some of you were relying on that "bug" in your workflow. Perhaps we should reintroduce that "bug" and call it a "feature"!Maybe if we keep pushing they will change it back? [;)]
"Make sure nothing is selected.Switch to Text tool and without clicking anywhere, open the font list and select the font you want.This will bring up a dialog asking what type of text you want to change.After closing the dialog, you will get this font as default for all new text blocks in that particular document."
Ronny, no, it doesn't work. When I paste text, it always pastes in as Arial and not my default font.
