How do you change the style of text in AutoCAD?

To change the style of text in AutoCAD, utilizing the TEXTSTYLE command is the appropriate method. This command allows users to create, modify, and control the appearance of text based on style attributes such as font type, size, width factor, and oblique angle.

When you enter the TEXTSTYLE command, a dialog box or command line options appear, which enable you to set specific characteristics for the text style, such as selecting a font from a list of installed fonts or adjusting the height and other attributes. This is particularly important for maintaining consistency across drawings and ensuring that text is legible and visually appealing.

Other commands, while they may serve different purposes, do not specifically address the comprehensive modification of text styles. For example, the FONT command would typically be associated with the font file selection for a specific text element, CHARSET relates to character sets used in text representation, and TEXTEDIT is focused on editing existing text rather than establishing or modifying styles. Therefore, the TEXTSTYLE command is the most effective option for changing text styles in AutoCAD.
