PRIOR THREAD FROM MARK SAYS THAT LAYOUT 2018 CANNOT CHANGE TEXT COLOR? I TRIED HIS WORKAROUND FROM PRIOR THREAD;
That’s a new bug in LayOut 2018, sorry about that!
Here’s a workaround:
Create a label.
Select that label. - NOT THE TEXT INSIDE THE LABEL BOX?
Set the font color so the label looks the way you want. HOW DO YOU DO THIS? SELECT THE TARGET AND THEN DRAG THE COLOR FROM THE TRAY? DOES NOT WORK. THE LABEL BOX ITSELF TAKES ON COLOR BUT NOT THE TEXT ITSELF. AM I DOING SOMETHING WRONG?
Switch to the label tool. OK LAUNCH A NEW LABEL FOR ADDING COLOR TO.
Press the “s” key to activate the style sampler. LIKE AN ATRIBUTE PICKER/PAINTER, A KEYBOARD SHORTCUT
Click on the throw-away label to sample the text color into the label tool. OK I UNDERSTAND THE IDEA
Note that this will sample the entire label style, not just the text color. ROGER, THAT WORKS FOR MAKING ALL TEXT SAME, COULD BE LEGIT WORKAROUND
SO MY VERSION OF LAYOUT 2018 APPARENTLY WILL NOT CHANGE THE COLOR OF THE FONT. EITHER IN A TEXT BOX OR LABEL. REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU HAVE TO DO IT BY ABSORBING ATTRIBUTES (STYLES) FROM OTHER LABELS. WHAT A BUMMER. A HUGE FEATURE OMISSION. BUG IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT.
AM I MISSING SOMETHING?
