Different Font Styles for occurrence copies

Sam W on June 6, 2011

This may be a basic question, is there a way to have different font styles for occurence copies of an object? Seems like right now font styles follow objects around in all occurences.

E.g. if i have a function object that appears in two or more different models, right now if i change the font face, size or color in any model it gets reflected in all the other models, whereas i want to be able to have different font sizes in different models (e.g. one may have font size 12 while another has font size 20)

thanks

Yes, it is possible. If you use the formatting in the menu bar then the formatting applies to all object occurrences. If you use the Properties tab to format the attribute properties and select a font from the from the down list it applies only to the occurrence in that model. This has always seemed backwards to me, but perhaps it's just me.

You can go to the Properties Tab and Select "Format >> Object appearance >> Fill Color" and select different color for the Occurrence Copy of the object than Defnition Copy of the object. It will change the fill color of only the Occurrence Copy of the object.
