How to assign Text Style to 2D drawings for different Text categories like Dimension text, Annotation, Drawing Description, Part name etc.

Steps to resolve

User sometime needs to assign Text style as per their choice.

1. To start with this first you need to set Text Style in Text Style Dialog. This can be done either by copying existing style and then renaming or creating one new style. 
    Here you can choose Text Font from the drop-down list. After setting up all the style save this Style. See the below example.

    

2. Then create one new Dimension Style and link this new Text Style to that Dimension Style, so that, this Text Style can be assigned in Dimension also (if needed). 
   Below is  one example.

From that you can select one which you want.
