To access Explode Text, right click Text .
EXPLODE TEXT makes text into more basic CC3 entities. True TypeÒ fonts are exploded into smooth paths and paths which are then made into a multipoly. FNT fonts are exploded into lines and paths.
Since True Type Fonts are scaled differently depending on the zoom-scale the exploded text can sometimes differ from the original. There is also a small difference between different fonts.
NOTE Multiline text must be exploded using Explode before using EXPLODE TEXT.
· You can create text filled with bitmap fill style.
· You can scale XY or stretch exploded text.
· Other users without your fonts will be able to see the map as you intended it.
· It eliminates certain display and printing problems.
· Exploded Text redraws more slowly
· You can’t zoom to text or find text that has been exploded.
