I received a drawing with Mtext notes has a different color from the layer they belong...the user change the Mtext note color from the Mtext editor .
Is there a way to change the color for these Mtext notes to by layer color globally and with one command?
How to change MTEXT to MLEADER? We often have texts on our drawing - mostly MTEXT and used line to the text.
Recently I started using MLEADER due to that it has added line to the text and looked more professional with consistent line setting out within the text.
The problem is that I don't seem to find a way of converting MTEXT to MLEADER. From the internet search, it seems that adding a LISP created by someone seems to do trick but I would prefer to do from the Autocad software so that all colleagues can use.
Is there a way - or 3rd party app or lisp- to change the width of multiple Mtext objects all at once? I have several drawings where the width of all Mtext objects is 1.25, and I would like to change all of them to 1.
View 8 Replies View RelatedWhen I create new mtext in my drawings I normally like to have a zero width.
Instead I'm creating new mtext and it has a set width that I am unable to change in the properties window.
I have no problems with changing the justification point.
Is this a setting that I can change?
Plus is it posible to change the default so that I don't have to worry about changing it every time?
I want to change some layer properties that are the same on about 100 different drawing files. Is there a way to do this once and have the change reflected every time I open one of the 100 drawings?

The dwg was fine, then it crashed while changing from modle space to paper space...
When i recovered the dwg, EVERY MTEXT I try to edit becomes rotated vertically and stays that way when i close the edit box...
I do not recall hitting any buttons or making any keystrokes without my knowing...
Is there a way to get my text back to Horizontal and stay that way?
I tried setting the MTEXTFIXED to: 0, 1 & 2.
NONE of these options changed anything.
I NEED to have this fixed. more importantly, i need to know why this is happening sop that i can take steps to prevent this happening in the future...
I am currently working with the latest CAD available.
Once upon a time in a job far, far away I had a lisp routine that deleted the current page setups and replaced them with new ones imported from a template drawing. It's probably been a good 6-7 years since I found it the first time.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy firm has tasked, yours truly, with transferring the CAD Detail Library to our new Revit Standards. I started out by converting our CAD details to Revit and saving them in one file in individual Detail Views. The next step is to convert the line weights to the new company standard styles and widths. I thought it would be as simple as selecting an old detail line type then “Selecting All Instances in Entire Project” and converting all of those line styles to the new standard in one fell swoop (rinsing and repeating until all the old line styles were up to date). However, Revit doesn’t allow you to “Select All Instances” of Detail Lines (oops). We have about 500 standard details that need to be converted.

View 9 Replies View RelatedHow can I globally change the CELTSCALE of all objects in my drawing? Using PROPERTIES, I can change one element at a time, but when I choose multiple objects in the drawing at the same time, PROPERTIES does not allow me to change their CELTSCALE to (say) "1". Also, this doesn't appear to be possible using the CHANGE (Properties option) command either. The latter only allows the LTSCALE to be changed (not CELTSCALE).

I realize I can turn off background for fields, but I don't want to do that. I want to change the background to a darker grey so one still knows it's a field but easier to read.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am doing some engineering drawings in ACAD 2011. I use multiple colors on-screen to discern between certain items, then plot everything in black, like I'm sure almost everyone out there does. However, I would like to print only lines of a certain layer in differing colors. Is there a way to have that one layer print in a different color besides black, yet still use multiple colors on-screen?

I have at least 1000 MTexts that need to be changed. This will take a long time if I have to activate each one and change them individually.
I often use a photoshop template to create work and was wondering id there was a way to select all items that use a particular swatch color and change them to another swatch color? Right now, I have to find each instance I use that particular color and change them one by one to the new color and was trying to find a better way to do this.

If I select a few mtext entities that I want to make the same width then go to Properties, the Defined Width box says "varies" and is not editable.

I have annotative mtext that keeps changing width and location. See pic. When gripped, they're in the correct location but wrong scale. I experienced this on a few drawings with C3d 2010 and now 2011.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI've been having this issue happen repeatedly, but not consistently. In a new file, I adjust the width of an mtext box so that the text wraps into multiple lines. When I next open the file, all mtext boxes are back at a wider width so that the text is all on one line. The start of the text is also usually in a different location. This was happening on 2011/XP and now on 2012/Windows7.

View 8 Replies View RelatedI just started getting strange characters on labels that I print from a data table. The process I use is to use mtext with fields to get infromation from the client abbreviation, job name and part numbers onto labels used to keep track of parts and for assembly.
I have used this for some time with no problems but today..... Attached is the template I use and a nested drawing using the same template but with actual data. The one with data works with no problems. I'm pretty sure no variables have changed between them.
Is there a setting somewhere that keeps the Mtext Editor in the same place? I believe in previous versions if you specified "OldEditor" it would keep the editing box at the same size and same location that you specified. In ACAD 2012, if I change to "Old Editor" I get an error message - see attached.
I have tried MTEXTfixed at 0 or 1 with no luck. I do understand that you can zoom in and out to change the size of the text when editing.I run dual monitors and like to have the mtext editing on the screen without my drawing.
I have a drawing with mtext objects. I can not edit the the defined width through the properties palette. I think this is just some setting but I haven't been able to recall/ find it.
