Defining a Specific Font for a Sub-object

You can define a specific font for a sub-object.

  1. Right-click a symbol in the diagram and select Sub-Objects Format.
  2. Select a sub-object in the list and click the Select Font tool to open the Font dialog box and define a font.
  3. Click OK to close the Font dialog box.

    The font settings are displayed in the Specific Font column beside the selected sub-object. If the D check box is selected for the sub-object, the font settings are applied to it in the diagram when you click Apply.

    You can also open the Font dialog box by clicking the Ellipses button in the Specific Font column beside the selected sub-object or even directly define a font for a sub-object in the Specific Font column. Beware that if you type wrong font settings, they are replaced with the display preferences default font.

    You can also multi-select sub-objects in the list to apply to them the same specific font.

In the following example, both columns have a specific font but only the Team number will be displayed in the parent symbol:



In the Proj.Member parent symbol, only the Team number column is displayed and ellipses indicate that more data can be displayed:
