AutoCAD 2013 :: Does Support Multiple Lines Of Vertical Setting On Mtext
Jan 15, 2013I guess it does NOT support it because it seems that it does NOT work properly. For example, in case of multiple lines of “Horizontal” setting, it works properly like followings. But in case of multiple lines of “Vertical” setting, it does NOT work properly like followings.
Configure of “Horizontal”:
ABC
DEF
GHI
Configure of “Vertical”:
ABC DEF GHI
In my perspective, it should go downward like followings.
In my “perspective” of Vertical”:
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
H
I
We are making application software for importing DXF file from AutoCAD. If AutoCAD does not support multiple lines of vertical setting on mtex, our software also should not support it, I think. I want to know the specification for multiple lines of vertical setting of AutoCAD.

May 14, 2013Whenever I enter the MTEXT editing function, then type a letter on any given line of text, that line rotates to the world UCS. This makes typing almost impossible, as the overlapping text can't be read clearly.
I'm using AutoCAD 2013 for Mac and looking at my drawing with a rotated UCS.
AutoCAD Visual LISP / AutoLISP :: Mtext Editing
Nov 12, 2013I have mtext in several drawings that contains an error that'd I'd like to fix using Lisp. An example of what this text should look like is:
NOTE:
SEE DRAWING XXXX FOR DRIVE DETAILS
The fist problem is that all of the text after the note has a width factor of 0.1 and is all squished together. The second problem is that the text height of the title (the "NOTE:" part) is supposed to be larger than the actual note (the "SEE DRAWING XXXX FOR DRIVE DETAILS" PART). Is there a way to fix this using lisp? I had a lisp in progress (not done) which is:
(IF
(SETQ SSET (SSGET "X" '((0 . "MTEXT"))))
(PROGN
(SETQ COUNT -1)
(WHILE (< (SETQ COUNT (1+ COUNT)) (SSLENGTH SS))
(SETQ ENTDATA (ENTGET (SSNAME SSET COUNT)))
(SETQ ENTTEXT (CDR (ASSOC 1 ENTDATA)))
(ENTMOD (SUBST (CONS 1 (STRCAT "{\W1;" ENTTEXT "}")) (ASSOC 1 ENTDATA) ENTDATA))
The last line has no effect on the width factor of the note.
This is the entdata for this particular piece of mtext (they aren't all the same):
((-1 . <Entity name: 7ffff79ce50>) (0 . "MTEXT") (330 . <Entity name:
7ffffb069f0>) (5 . "392FD") (100 . "AcDbEntity") (67 . 0) (410 . "Model") (8 .
"5") (100 . "AcDbMText") (10 676.276 751.03 0.0) (40 . 3.008) (41 . 0.0) (46 .

AutoCAD 2013 :: Setting Up Default Setting For Lab Environment
Sep 4, 2012Best practices for setting up systems in a lab environment. We have a lab enviroment of about 200 systems that access AutoCad, Inventor, Mechanical and others.
We need to have a customized interface come up when Autocad is opened by students.I have read that you can do this with profiles and workspaces and also with loading a acad.lsp file.
In the past we have just copied the Windows admin profile used to customize AutoCad to the default profile. In AutoCad 2013 that does not seem to grab everything. It doesn't seem to be the best way to do what we need.
We will also be moving to Windows 7 soon which will also cause an issue.I want to find the best way to do this with out having to deal with the Windows profile.
AutoCAD Civil 3D :: Fatal Errors When Editing Large Amounts Of MText
May 16, 2013Fatal Errors when editing large amounts of MText? I usually have to insert a good amount of drawing notes that we keep in word documents on our network and i find that the process of editing them causes me to Fatal Error when trying even the simplest edit, like erasing a sentence or changing a name.
How to edit the document in word before copy/pasting it into CAD, but the documents are locked for editing as is our standard practice for the general notes that we use.
I am going to make a dummy drawing in hopes of making my changes in an empty drawing, (although I strongly feel this is not a file size issue but a word to CAD translation issue).

AutoCAD 2013 :: Setting Up One Drawing In Multiple Screens With One Session Of 2013
Nov 21, 2013I recently added 2 monitors to my set up to bring my total to 3. I am trying to figure out the best way to work on one drawing, with 2 differant veiws on each of the 2 main screens.
I would like my main screen to have the plan view and the second monitor to have an isometric veiw (or whatever I need at the time) of the same drawing. Is there a way to have the same drawing opened up in another window, in one session of Autocad 2013. One on the main screen and one on the secondary.
AutoCAD 2013 :: Change Mtext
Sep 20, 2013If I put a single line text and use it several times and then select them all I can change them in the properties all at ones. How do I do that with Mtext, if I select all and go to the properties they are opened one by one and you can change that.
Is there another way to do that as a single line text with the same.
AutoCAD 2013 :: Adding Content To Mtext
Oct 30, 2013I am trying to add labels everywhere on my drawing to show the properties of my objects i.e. lines. (But the thing is, I need static text). This is because I need to be able to "distort" the drawing for legibility purposes but retaining the label information. This is a common drafting task in surveying. Solution A - add the labels and then convert then into text. (I don't think Autocad allows this) Solution B - add the mtext via script, but so far I am stuck on the text editor.
Here's what I have done so far. mtext 100,100 <-- I'll need to come up with some calculation to automatically place the text in the middle of the line. j mc r 96d08'27" 130,100 "186° 08' 27""" <-- how to you add the content of the mtext object?

AutoCAD 2013 :: How To Match Mtext Properties
Sep 18, 2013I am using LT 2013. I cannot figure out how to match properties for text. I click on the 2 options and the box witdth, orientation, layer will match but not the style or font. I have tried using Quick Properties to select but have not had any success with this tool. Here is what I did:
Created a style and named it Arial.
Open the Quickselect box.
Apply to : click the box and select the various mtext objects.
Object Type: mText
Properties: Style
Operator: Select All
Include in New Selection Set is checked.
I click Ok and the objects are selected.
Next I go to the Properties Manager and change the style to the one I want to use, bu the text does not change. If Idoubleclick a text object it shows the correct style, but not the correct font. What have I missed doing?
AutoCAD 2013 :: CHANGESPACE Command And MTEXT
Aug 22, 2013I used the CHANGESPACE command today to bring a piece of mtext from model space to paper space. I had a background mask on the mtext and when it came into paper space, the height of the text box displayed right but the width stayed the same as it was in model space. I played around with column settings and also the WYSIWYG in editor settings. Nothing seemed to make difference. What am I missing? Using autocad 2014

Feb 22, 2013I have an older drawing that was created by somebody else that is chock full of bad CAD. I have to add some leaders to some text and I'm using the "QLeader" command. For some odd reason when I implement "QLATTACH" it won't attach the leader to the text.
Yes, I could recreate the text with the Qleader command but I'm trying to avoid having to do that because there is a lot of text. I'm not a fan of the rigidness of Mleader either so that is not an option.
AutoCAD 2013 :: Mtext Change Bullet Symbol?
Sep 19, 2012When I create Mtext with a Bullet list, I want to change the bullet to something of my own choosing, instead of the blakc dot. I've been looking into this before, but couldn't find a solution. Some time back, I received a drawing from someone else. See attachment. It contains a piece of Mtext wich uses an alternative bullet, in this case a hyphen. So it CAN be done. Only thing is, I can't figure out HOW they did it?

AutoCAD 2013 :: Create Attribute / Mtext In Block
Nov 10, 2013Is there a way to create an attribute or MTEXT in a block where part of it is User defined and the other part is constant?
e.g.
"AUTOCAD = 12345 LAYERS"
Where "AUTOCAD =" and "LAYERS" are constant
and
"12345" is the user defined part.
The reason why I would like this is because i want to be able to Middle Center Justify the text and if i were to create 3 separate texts then it wouldn't be good (2 texts and 1 attdef)
AutoCAD 2013 :: Mtext Not Showing Up In Paper Space
Jun 26, 2013I used "save as" to create a new drawing from an existing file that I did not have any problems with. For some reason, the mtext that already existed shows up in my viewports as well as new leader text, but any new mtext that I've added does not. The viewports were also already existing from the previous file. I have not changed any settings either!
All of the layers are on, and I've tried deleting and re-adding the viewports with no luck. All of the text settings are the same as the original file, and like I mentioned before I did not have any problems with the previous file.
AutoCAD 2013 :: Leaders Lost Vertices And Detached From Mtext
Jun 27, 2012While working in a drawing, I noticed that my leaders looked a little odd. They had ALL lost their verticies and upon further investigation I realized that the mtext is no longer attached to the leader (i.e. when you select text and grab the grip and move, the leader, text end, does not follow). Start a new leader command, and all is well with the new leader and text but the old leaders remain disconnected.
This is a new file originated in 2013. Audit was 0. Restarted AutoCad, checked a bak file and auto-save, no changes to mleader settings or attachments. I do no recall executing any out of the ordinary commands or changing settings.
AutoCAD 2013 :: Mtext Command Causing High CPU Usage?
Jun 19, 2013I'm currently using AutoCad 2013 on a Lenovo Thinkpad X230 with windows 7 64 bit. I have 8 gb of ram and a core I7 processor which seem up to the task for the rather small files I create. My issue is that whenever I initiate the mtext command or attempt to edit an mtext object, my cpu usage will jump from about 0 to 4% up to 20 to 30% and will stay at that level until I close the drawing. This causes the fans to run constantly and makes working a little more jumpy. I've tried removing AutoCad completely and reinstlling. I've tried loading up AutoCAd 2014 (and subsequently removing it) and now I'm back to AutoCad 2013 and the problem persists.
I'm assuming it has something to do with the computer or some other software that is running in the background. It's odd that it would only affect this one command. The computer is only 1 month old and I've done the hardware checks that Lenovo offers (no problems indicated).

AutoCAD 2013 :: Referenced Text That Formats And Wraps Like Mtext Entity?
Aug 20, 2013I have a set of notes for a given jurisdiction that I need to show on mumltiple layout tabs within the same file. However, the notes need to change their width, number of columns, height, etc. for each layout tab to work with viewports and other drawing elements within each tab. My question is this- is there way using fields, blocks, rtext, something that will allow me to create one master copy of the note and basically have instances of the note on those other tabs that I can adjust the wrapping, height, columns etc.? I could just create a bunck of copies of the same note, but then if we get a comment from an AHJ about the notes, we need to make sure the comment is addressed in each instance of the note instead of just one master note. Is there way to do what Im asking, or is the technology just not there yet?
