Helv.shx	- Used in "H" or "MH" styles
	Used for titles, etc.

("M" designates a Metric style, and only applies to projects done in Metric Units)


Example of text sizing-

MODELSPACE-
The font shall be scaled by whatever the drawing scale is to be.    For example, if the drawing is at 1"=100' scale, then the size of the style shall be 100 times the plotted scale.     (L100 would be size 10 in modelspace)     

PAPERSPACE-
Styles used in paperspace shall have "ps" added to the end of the style name, and shall be sized according to the actual size of the text.    (L100ps would be size 0.10 in paperspace)

Please contact Bob Keiner if you have any questions about this system of text styles.
