Feature Request: setting default text format for converted measurements

Post by metra-mgk »

First – you did a great job by adding following Features:
– "Added an option to convert Line, Polygon, and Polyline annotations to corresponding measurement annotations and vice versa.
– "Added an option to convert Line and Distance annotations to Polyline annotations, and to convert Polyline, Polygon, Perimeter and Area annotations to Line annotations.(T# 4552)"

Is there already a way to set the default text-format for measurement after conversion?

I know about changing the Text-Format via "Open Pop-Up Note" for a long time.

But this way is little awkward.

Further format options would be nice to.

I think the default format from comment style palette was one way to realize the selection of the format,
but there would some users be unhappy because of the field "Leader Length".

Using: PDF-XChange Editor Plus Version 9.1 build 356.0

I'd like to use the same defaults described there:

Hello, metra-mgk

Sorry for the delay on a reply here, I see what you mean, and have created a bug report for the issue:

RT#5788: Bug: "Convert to measure" does not use default text style

Thought I cannot offer a timeline for this fix, hopefully it will come sooner rather than later.

Kind regards,
