Lisp routine that will rotate Mtext to the same angle as the angle of a selected line and the allow you to place the mtext object where you wish.
I know there is an lisp out there called RTL that will allow you to do this with regular or Dtext, but I will not work with Mtext.
Would like to be able to select mtext explode it get x y coords of last line of text then turn it back to mtext and then launch mtext at a @0,-0.5 justification TL width 5 and display the ribbon.
All seems to work except the (command ...)
Below is my attempt.
(prompt "Select Note")
(setq ss (ssget))
(command "explode" ss)
(setq ss (ssget "l")) ;get last line of text
(setq ent (entget (ssname ss 0))
ent1 (cdr (assoc 10 ent))) ;get x y coords
(command "undo" "1") ;set exploded mtext back to mtext
(setvar "lastpoint" ent1)
(command "mtext" "@0,-0.4" "j" "TL" "w" "5")
Tool to combine multiple pieces of Mtext into a single Mtext with paragraphs?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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 .

I have a routine, developed for me through this forum, that selects text or mtext, converts to mtext if not already, and puts a background mask with 1.1 border. I was using it fine in Map 3D 2007, but have recently switched to Civil 3D 2012 where it does not work. I get this error message:
; error: no function definition: VLAX-ENAME->VLA-OBJECT
Why does this not work in 2012? How to get it to work?
I'm looking for a function to return the actual text from an mtext object.if there's a carraige return I wish to replace it with a space.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI would like to write a routine to resize the MText limits box to the minimum size required to cover the text, for background masking purposes. From the DXF codes, I see that I can simply set code 41 to match code 42 in order to set the width. However, I cannot seem to figure out how the vertical dimension is defined. (entget) shows no change in the DXF codes after I resize the mtext box.
I do know how to figure out the height that I need, using (acet-geom-textbox), but I can't seem to figure out how to apply this height the MText entity.

It converts MText to a Multileader.
My goals would be as follows:
The multileader should end up on the same layer as the Mtext. (Currently it uses the current layer.)The multileader should hold the same rotation as the Mtext. (Currently it goes to zero.)The multileader should be created in the same location as the Mtext, without the user having to click. (Currently the multileader is created wherever the user clicks.)The multileader should be created without a leader. We can add one afterwards if needed, but for many we don't need a leader. (We're just using the object as mtext with a box around it.)
I'm finding Mleaders with Mtext don't seem to play well with command calls. All works fine until one tries to enter the mleader text. Before testing this, be sure your mleader style is set to use mtext. I recommend starting the leader with the arrow first.
Compare this mleader's text entry behavior in this basic lisp command call:(command "_.acad_dim.mleader") with the following routine that relies on an open ended command prompt (useful if you want to add more commands after calling the mleader command):
(defun c:mlx (/ cc_echo)
(prompt "
Example showing mleader mtext misbehaving")
(setq cc_echo (getvar "cmdecho"))
(setvar "cmdecho" 1)
(command "_.acad_dim.mleader")
[code]...
With qleaders, the leader and text are separate entities.
I'm having issues with updating an MTEXT attributes value using lisp.
If I insert my block (this is a titleblock) and run my lisp routine the MTEXT attribute updates fine. Once I edit the MTEXT attribute with the MTEXT editor, and then run my lisp routine again, the MTEXT attribute will not update anymore. All the single line (DTEXT) attributes update fine. The lisp routine I created has worked for years...this is the first time I've tried it with an MTEXT attribute.

I am wanting to use autolisp to access the text in a MTEXT entity. assoc(1) gives me the first bit of text, but not the rest.Is there a way to use assoc to access each of a number of matches or do I need to write my own routine to find all the 1's?

I want to create a layer from selecting only some words from an mtext or text entitty.
Is it possible to highlight and select only part of the text from an mtext using a lisp routine ? similar to how Adobe Reader can select text.

I would like to use the entmod method to rotate the text in a Multileader object. Reading the DXF code tells me the dotted pair of 42 seems to be the rotation angle, but entmoding that does nothing. Obviously I don't know how to modify this complex object.

I have a routine that looks for an MText date stamp and replace the old date with a new date. The problem is some MText strings appear encrypted. Below is an example:
{\H1.121x;\C1; \LFY 2011-12\l \H0.6252x;04-30-11} This is what I should get when I extract the string (as shown in Property window)
(1 . "\pxi-2.1818,l4.3636,ql,t4.3636;{\fSymbol|b1|i0|c2") is what I get when I extract the group code.
I'm running AutoCAD 2012 on Windows 7.
I have the below code (from a user here on the forum) which works great for aligning text, mtext and blocks to 2 points. For annotative entities, it respects the rotation angle for mtext and text.
ie I have an mtext object at 1"=20' scale and at 1"=40' scale. I run the command when the current annotative scale is 1"=40'. The object at 40' scale has changed, but the 20' scale is unchanged. This is working as I would like it to.
But for annotative blocks, it gets weirded out. In the above example, the block at 40' will rotate, but so will the attributes at 20' scale. But linework and hatching at 20' scale will be unchanged. it looks really weird. how to get it to play nice with blocks. Ideally, I'd like the block to be at different rotation angles in different annotative scales.
(defun C:R2P (/ ss ang edata); = Rotate objects to align with 2 Points (setq ss (ssget '((0 . "*TEXT,INSERT"))) ang (angle (getpoint "

I found a program which rotates selected block(s) about thier insertion point. I modified it to rotate each of the block(s) about the y-axis. Works great. Now, I would like to change it so that it rotates a copy of each block about the y-axis and leaves the origial block in place. Its kind of like the mirror command exept it is rotating the new block(s) to the other side instead of flipping them. I want to keep all or the parameters of the block(s) the same as each original. I am using AutoCAD 2010. MOCORO is not recognized as a command. The new features workshop says to use the new command AMCOPYRM, which is not recognized either. Go figure.

I have a macro that i have been using in autocad 2012 for a simple copy & rotate command as follows
^C^C_select;auto;\_copy;p;;0,0;0,0;_move;p;;\_rotate;p;;\redraw
For some reason it now does not work in 2013 the macro exits after the copy part of the macro is finished & fails to let you rotate the copied object.
