Text Styles are a way of organizing groups of text together and defining a font and default characteristics for the style.

WireCAD requires several Text Styles be in the drawing document in order to operate properly. These Text Styles are added to a document if it is opened in WireCAD. These Text Styles are enumerated in the appendix.
