Checking Spelling
You can check the spelling in your drawing using several dictionaries avail-
able in different languages. AutoSketch checks the spelling of the selection
set or, if no selection set is defined, the entire drawing. AutoSketch also
allows you to check spelling in:
■
Dimension format strings (text embedded in dimension labels)
■
Database field values (including symbol data fields in the Symbol
Explorer)
■
Edit controls
■
Dialog boxes
■
Text Editor
During a spell check, AutoSketch matches the words in the drawing to the
words in the current main dictionary. You can create a custom dictionary
that contains a list of spelling exceptions you have identified, including
proper names. You can switch between the main and custom dictionaries.
