37.6.1 Setting the label font

For each plot mode ABAQUS/CAE uses a single font to display all element, face, and node labels. You can set the properties (family, size, boldness, italics) of this font.

To set the label font:

  1. Locate the font options for the plot mode (undeformed, deformed, contour, symbol, or material orientation) that you want to customize.

    From the main menu bar, select Optionsplot mode; then click the Labels tab in the dialog box that appears. The font options are at the top of the Labels page.

  2. Click Set Font for All Model Labels.

    The Select Font dialog box appears.

  3. Use the Select Font dialog box to set the font properties that you want.

  4. When you have set the desired font properties, click OK.

    The Select Font dialog box closes.

  5. Click Apply to implement your changes.

    Since the label font is plot mode-dependent, the element, face, and node labels change according to your specification in plots of the current mode only.

    Your changes are saved for the duration of the session and will affect all subsequent plots in this mode.
