AutoCAD 2010 :: Strange Characters In Mtext
Feb 8, 2012
I 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.

My coworker who does not have AutoCAD is trying to find text in a 250 page PDF that I am 98% sure came directly from a DWG. When we search for the text in the basic search command in Acrobat Pro we get nothing. Is there a way for Acrobat to identify the text or mtext as characters, not pixels again and search within those pages to find the text? And yes, it does occur at least twice in the doc that we have noticed.
I'm on Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro and he is on Adobe Acrobat 11 Pro. I have AutoCAD 2013 MEP.

I have noticed a small annoying behavior of autocad when adding certain characters to an MText object.
For example, if I have MText containing "hello" it will be at a different vertical position to MText containing "hello/". Autocad changes the vertical placement when adding characters it seems, possibly to avoid clashing.
Is there anyway to suppress the auto adjustment autocad makes to the vertical placement to accommodate these characters? I have the text elements spaced suitably from the line to avoid clashes but some wire numbers have characters and some don't, so it leaves the drawing looking somewhat messy. (see below)
Currently i have to adjust each wire number containing characters so it sits at the right vertical placement.

Why is this happening?
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.

When I print out a certain drawing, there are a couple of lines that show up that are not visible in the drawing or on the preview of the drawing. Therefore, I don't know where the lines are coming from nor can I delete them.

I am trying to add Chinese characters along with my English notes. I had someone translate into Chinese characters, but when I try to paste the characters into my text, they all change to ? marks.

I don't know what I did, I tried to check the history of my operations but I didn't find the problem. The /, ', " change place on my keyboard and I can't find them. Then it can't recognize the measure that I give!!!! It is only in autocad because I can write it in other programs.

For the last few weeks my copy of C3d 2012 has had what appear to be chinese characters pm all tooltips.This started after a network change here which resulted in everyone gaining a new user account on their PC.
I copied over all my old settings.I have tried adding font packs from the installation disk.I tried repairing from the installation disk.
Makes no difference; it's still Chinese (or what appears to be Chinese anyway). how to get this program back into English or is a reinstallation the only answer?
After reading a thread that seems related I also tried changing the windows advanced appearance options for tooltip fonts.Didn't have any effect.

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.

I have a whole bunch of labels that are single line text that I want to convert to Mtext. I have been using the Express Tools TXT2MTXT command but that only works on one label at a time. If I select all the labels at once using this command it gives me one long Mtext string. Is there a way to convert all of the labels to mtext, but still maintaining individual entities?

I have a bunch of dwg's that were converted from dgn's using Microstation V8's batrch convert utility. In many of them there are these Mtext objects that, when I hover over them, or when I pick them to change their properties using the properties dialog, slow performance way down. I have to wait about ten seconds for the machine to catch up.
This can get pretty annoying since it ouccurs when I merely cross over the objects when I am not in any command whatsoever.
The text objects are referring to a font that I do not have installed on this machine. I think it defualted to using simplex.shx as a result. I did not get any errors or warnings about the missing shx when I opened the file.

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 to insert CAD blocks into the Multiline text editor, much like you are able to insert a block into a Table.
I am asking for the sole purpose of Plan Notes. When we lay out Plan Notes originally we place the note bubble next to the line of text it represents. When we have to come back at a later time and edit the mtext, sometimes add a line our users are in a rush and forget to re-align the note bubbles with the text. If there was a way to insert the block into the text editor and have it still be able to edit it.
Is this a feature in 2013?

Every so often, and I have not been able to determine common cause, when editing mtext in the default mtext editor the text in the editor will display as some other font - handletter, TXT, whatever - something other than the Romans I typically use. And both the style and the font are set to Romans. When I finish editing, the final text in the drawing is correct, so it is more an annoyance than anything.

After closing and re-opening my drawing, my annotative mtext is moving, and shrinking. When I click on the text, the properties say annotative is set to NO. I reset it to YES and fix it, but once I close it and re-open its screwed up again, and annotation is set back to NO.

This is an annoying change from acad 2007 to acad 2011. Every time I start and end the Mtext command, as the dialog box opens and closes, the screen "shudders", or "jumps" a little. It is hard on my eyes. I have explored the MTEXTFIXED and the MTEXTED commands, but I can't get it to settle down.

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.

If I create one MTEXT object with the Background Mask set to Yes, then COPY it to several locations, and lastly edit the text for each one, does the width of the bounding box have to be adjusted for the width on each individual peice of MTEXt, or is there an "autofit" option?
The Background Masks are either too narrow or too wide on the copied items.

I just switched over from 2005 to 2012. In 2005 I used Express Tools to change several lines of text to one mtext object. I can't find it in 2012. I didn't realize how much I used it until I lost it.
how to select several lines of text and convert it to one mtext object?
