Is it possible to create a field that will show only a portion of the contents within an text object? Maybe using diesel or something?
Example:
There is a text object that contains "FIRST TEST", is it possible to create a field from that object that contains the first 5 letters of the text "FIRST". If the original text was changed to "SECOND TEST" the field would be updated "SECON"
Is there a way to force text pulled from a drawing property to wrap to fit a cell of Mtext? In otherwords,... a multi line field? Some of our drawing titles are several lines, and instead of wrapping inside the field box in our titleblock, the text just spreads out all over. I'd rather not go back to the old method of having a custom property for Line 1, Line 2 etc....

Is there anyway to link a field text from one layout to another layout? I need something that when I change a title to one layout the other layouts will change automatically.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI would like to link a series of text lines in an autocad drawing to there corresponding fields in an excel sheet, I can not use tables in autocad because of the way other software uses the text in autocad. I have attached files of the text layout in acad and of the sheet in excel. One thing that keeps me from using tables in acad is that every line of text is on a different layer, with tables you can't control the layer of table its always on the current layer.

I've created an input text inside a symbol called "Asks" in a timeline triger i use:
message = sym.$("texto"); // texto is a textfield
message.html("Write here: ");
inputMessage = $('<textarea />').attr({'type':'textarea','value':'', 'id':'message'});
inputMessage .css ('font-size', 18);
inputMessage .css ('box-shadow', '#0a81fb');
[Code] ......
What way can i read text from a text field on stage then put this value into a variable?
I can easily write text to a text field via:
sym.$("my_text_field").html("Some text...");
But I want to read this text into a vairable? For example:
var theText = my_text_field.text
I re-opened a drawing this morning and found some text to be different height from the rest. When I attempted to adjust all of the heights to be the same using the properties method, they all became bigger. Instead of all of them going to 6", the 5" text went to 6" and the 6" text went to 7-3/16". So, I checked the formatting size and the properties size and they did not match. See PDF.
deleting the larger inconsistent text?
I have a drawing which has hundreds of levels on and i'm trying to establish what the MEAN level is and the AVERAGE level. I thought the best way might be to extract the text to excel and perform it there but at the moment the only way i can do it is to copy and paste the text and its taking me forever. Is there a way to either a) extract text to excel or b) calculate a MEAN value based on texted selected?

View 9 Replies View RelatedAny way to convert multiple fields to text? I've got a bunch of m-text objects, and they each have a field that references a polyline. (example: field=elevation of pline). I like to convert the fields to text when I need to send the file to someone, so that they can't inadvertently change the values. For now, I use the right click menu in the text editor for convert field to text, but I'd like to be able to change multiples at once. CAD 2008.

I wonder if it is possible to create a new text style where one can set the text to be already rotated.
I know that it is possible to rotate text in many ways but the styles always seem to be set on the horizontal to begin with.

I know I can rotate text with the rotate command or from the properties palette, but if I'm editing text and the text formatting toolbar is displayed, why don't I have the ability to modify the rotation right there? How do I get it there? Can I customize this toolbar?
View 3 Replies View RelatedYesterday this issue was like it should be in LT 2012. Today it had changed.
Lets say i give command L. It nicely shows up in command field, i press enter, now i have command LINE. It asks for first point. I give 0,0,0. Problem is that suddenly that 0,0,0 shows in screen next to cursor instead of command line.
I want to give all commands and related to the command line. How can i change this back as i cannot find correct tab?
I want to insert a text into a block that contains a field. The field I want to look up the value of an attribute that is also contained in the block. Now when I have this complete and then change the block attribute the fields do not update to the new value of the attribute. An example file is attached.
Now I am open to creating the block in a different way, so any way to make this concept work? I want everything to be contained in the block.
I already tried to work around my problem by making 2 separate attributes, where the 2nd attribute contains the field that looks up the value of the 1st attribute - this did not work. Another thing I tried was after the block was made, I edit the 2nd attribute by inserting the field and this worked fine - the down side is that the field is not the default of the attribute (so the block must already be present in the drawing model space and that instance must be copied to make more).
I have encountered a problem with some of my 'Dynamic Blocks', which seem to have become corrupted & have incorporated differing attributes. The text has moved out of the field it was originally intended to be in & I can not get it to return to its correct location, using 'Block Editor'. After testing one particular block, I have discovered it has picked-up contrasting attributes:
(i) If one 'double-clicks' on the dynamic block the 'Attributes dialog box' offers one set of 'Text Options.' However,
(ii) If the Block Attribute Manager command 'Battman' is used for the same block, different 'Text Options' are shown?
These are un-editable, without losing all of the data in the drawing. Moreover, I cannot get into the depths of the drawing to synchronize it without losing all of the data? Plus, it will not allow me to redefine the block, via the design center, Blocks (Right-Hand Click & redefine). Plus, I cannot drop a fully functioning block in from another drawing & redefine?
I'd like to have something like field text in a titleblock definition, where instead of the user manually typing the entry, they would have to choose option A or B for example.

View 5 Replies View RelatedApparently the issue has been happening since as far back as CS2. The flashing text cursor is only visible in the upper left hand portion of the screen. If the text your are attempting to edit is on the far right or bottom of the screen, the cursor vanishes. Some people have suggested zooming in and out, but this only appears to solve the problem because the art board may get nudged into the "good" portion of the screen. I did a screen shot and found that the cursor is only visible in about a 930p x 600p area of the window (not including toolbars). Incindentally, the is the same size that the window defaults to when initially opened. On a HD monitor, this amounts to a very small space.

I would like to make a split balloon where the top retrieves the item number and the bottom is a prompted text area. Is this possible?
If the above is not possible my fallback plan would like to make a sketched symbol function in exactly the same way. I believe this option would be significantly more code. If I have to go this route, is there a way to directly mimic getting the item number like the balloon function does?
--My current process involves attaching a user symbol, getting the proper leader node, attached entity, geometry, model geometry, containing occurrence, and then BOM of the component occurrence. Keep in mind this doesn't work for phantom or reference components.

I am trying to enlarge the text from an exported cad drawing from Dialux (lighting calculation software)...it has exported a field of values over a large area but the text is really small and illegible when its plotted as an A1 pdf
Is there anyway to blow all the text values up at once without moving them from their positions with relation to the boundaries of the roads and buildings? Here is a screenshot of the view with CAD...this is a small area of the entire scheme and those little black smudges are the numbers i need to scale
CAD Screenshot.jpg
I guess in a 3D program this would be equivalent to having the pivot point located in the centre of each set of numbers so you could scale them using the centre of each number as its scale point but I am stumped by how to do this in Autocad Architecture 2011..
When measuring the distance between points the distance is correct. However, when I click dimension and linear the text shows a smaller value. They should match.
