There should be more detail behind "failed to move..." (and text can be pasted)

Let me know if it happens again - if not, let's consider it a fluke, due to external applications.

Text Box Characteristics in COFE 3.2.0.4

Multiple problems:

• 1) Changed Custom Font in Flowsheet Configuration Appearance with no effect
  2) Typing in newly opened text box produces unexpected results
  3) Centering text moves the text out of the text box

Please see attached file for more information.

Some previously reported problems, e.g., {001}, {003}, and {004} have been satisfactorily resolved. Thank you.

nrgeng you are so careful!

1) Changed Custom Font in Flowsheet Configuration Appearance with no effect

not clear on that - this changes the font that is used for stream labels, unit labels, "label" object and the default font for text objects. Please elaborate what you mean with "no effect"?

2) Typing in newly opened text box produces unexpected results

Yes - I see. Resolved.

3) Centering text moves the text out of the text box

Not clear on what you mean with that. Elaborate?

Here is some more information.

1) Changed Custom Font in Flowsheet Configuration Appearance with no effect

Please elaborate what you mean with "no effect"?

The Custom Appearance did not change the font size for the text box.
I configured Basic Sans 16 (default) and obtained Basic Sans 10 as the default

Also, the Custom font configuration is not displayed in the Flowsheet Configuration dialog box as are the color schemes.

3) Centering text moves the text out of the text box

Not clear on what you mean with that. Elaborate?

The text is half in the box and half out of the box on the flowsheet.

Please see the attached file.

I cannot reproduce the issue with centering text - please send me an fsd so that I can see what you mean.

All other issues should be fixed with the latest update, please update from CUP.

I updated to COFE 3.2.0.6. Thanks for the fixes. One new issue remains. The font size selected in Flowsheet Configuration Appearance as the Flowsheet Default does not carry over to the Text Box Properties dialog. See attachments for details.

PS Also noticed that the Text Box font size, when set to 16, does not match the Label Default font Size.

I cannot reproduce this. If I change the font, a newly created text object after that defaults to the new font.

Please let me know a specific font and font size for which this does not work?

(note I do not have Basic Sans - perhaps use a standard Win10 font to demonstrate the issue?)

My last posting, {006b}, used the Basic Sans Heavy SF font from within COFE. I am not pulling these fonts from elsewhere. Please view the inline images provided within the posting.

I am referring to the fsd "Text Box Characteristics 4.fsd" in this posting, which I am sending for your review.

Note the difference between the text and label samples compared to the desired, configured sample. The difference is the font size not the font type.

Note that the font color, red, is not represented although configured.

Note that when one revises the text in the text box, the box expands to over three times its original size and thus needs to be resized. This negative characteristic was not present in earlier versions.

I created this fsd from scratch using COFE 3.2.0.6 and obtained exactly the same results that I reported in my last posting, {006b}. Why you have different results, I cannot explain. Where do we go from here?

Basic Sans Heavy SF is not part of a standard Windows installation - this font is installed on your system by some other program, or you have downloaded this font from somewhere. This makes it hard to check your document - can you use a font that comes with a standard Windows installation please?
