Vincent,
To answer your original question, yes there are default text sizes. If
you're in Allegro and create a new board (File->New), the text sizes found
under Setup->Text Sizes will be the default size. At least this is how it
works for me in 14.2.
A quick search of the install tree does not reveal any file(s) that
control the default sizes, so maybe they're hard-coded. To maintain some
sembelance of order, I wrote a program that (among other things) sets the
text sizes to the default every time we build a new symbol.

You can get to the same form when you are in the board design. Keep in
mind that changing text sizes
here will probably affect every part on the board so caution must be used
here.

In the 14.2 Librarian tool there is a setup>text sizes that will open a
form and you put the
desired text sizes in there that will show up on the physical footprint.
In concept you open Tools>Options select the Text tab. Here is where you
define the
text size for the Logic symbol. You set both the Text size and the pin
number size.
Things may be a little different in 15.2, I haven't explored that yet.
Also I am not sure where the files are saved since I am a Librarian and do
not normally
change projects and setups.

New user needs help - I am trying to set up a standard for our Text Sizes,
so my question is this. Is there a file somewhere deep, deep in the bowels
of Allegro that has the Text Sizes and if so, what do I need to do make this
file be our standard Text Size that comes up for all new designs? Also, does
the Symbol Editor use a different Text Size file? Thanks in advance for your
help.
