Change font of object properties

[Emilio]

When I select an object and open it up I get a multi-tabbed  property window. In the first tab there is a description, then in the Scenarios one can also enter free text with some basic formating such as italics etc.

The problem is that exporting a design as a document (RTF) generates a document with soooooo many document properties and wrong fonts that makes it very difficult (without extensive reformatting) to convert to the company style. We are loosing a lot of time that way.

So, what I have opted now is to select each object's text (description ,scenarios, etc) and do copy to paste into my design document. The problem is that it is copied with ARIAL font and our documents use something else (Calibri).

I checked EA options and tried some things out but no matter what the default font is always ARIAL. It would be nice if those rich text boxes in the property tabs *also* had a font selector as well as setting that default font in EA options/settings.

Have you seen the section in the RTF report whitepaper on importing a Company template into an RTF template? See:

Yup, read it but seems like an aweful lot of work. Also, the designers here (myself included) are not in favour of having the generated document litered with document property placeholders. For example every name of class, interface, object, etc. is a document property. It makes editing a hassle.

Try checking 'Overwrite document Fields' on the Advanced tab.  (Also note, that the options here are taken from your template, so it won't be preserved unless you set it in your template.)
