May 5, 2026

Use the Annotate tool to change fonts thoughout your project

Imagine this: you're about to issue drawings, when you suddenly have second thoughts about your decision to use Papyrus throughout your project. What do you do? Going through all your text and changing it to nice sensible helvetica is going to take forever

Well fear not - the Ci Tools Annotate tool can now do it for you. Just open up the Annotate options (Ci Tools - Annotate - Convert), and look for Replace Fonts

Enable that option, and then hit the Edit button to setup the conversion you want, for example:

You can setup a "Catch all" replacement at the top (1), as well as specific substitutions in the list below (2). Then just hit OK, and OK again, and Annotate will push the change through your whole project
