View 9 Replies View RelatedI have numerous MText paragraphs that I need to combine into a single piece of MText. I want the paragraphs preserved in the final piece. I've found some routines that can combine pieces of MText but I don't know if they preserve the paragraphs.I have DotSoft Toolpac but it doesn't seem up to the task. C

I have multiple singular text objects on my screen and I want to convert them to mtext so I can use the Background Mask option within mtext on my drawing. how to quickly select all the text and convert it to mtext without it combinin ginto 1 mtext?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have long used the following lisp to convert multiple single text objects into multiple mtext objects (i.e. make each text entity into separate mtext entities).
; T2M - convert individual Texts/Dtexts to individual MTexts
; modified by Xanadu - www.xanadu.cz
;
(defun C:T2M (/ ss i elist)
[Code]....
However, the mtext entity always moves position slightly (compared to the original text entity) after converting the object. better lisp that converts multiple text entities into mtext entities (which are all separate still, i.e. not joined together) without the position of the entity changing?
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.
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?
I use Mtext quite a bit and I am trying to convince others in the office that it's a good thing (versus single line text in long paragraphs). One of their concerns in the shape of the Mtext. For instance, when you use Mtext, you type into a nice rectangle that you can change the size of. What they have to do on occassion is instead of having a nice rectangle of text, they have to make it like a triangle. So in this case, single line text can be adjusted so that the end of the sentences make an angle.
Is there a way to do this using mtext? Or is there an lsp that will work?
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?
View 5 Replies View RelatedAn engineer has produced a schematic on power tools that we used "pdf2cad" to convert to a cad file.the text has turned out screwy, as in al line of text will be broken up into 2 or more different bits of mtext, and overlapping each other by a few characters in places.
we contacted pdf2cad who are usually really useful, however the settings they suggested "optimal" didn't work. How to convert these multiple mtexts to one mtext?
I discovered the TXT2MTXT command and how wonderful it is, but there is one thing missing. Is it possible to change multiple texts, but separately WITHOUT having to re-issue the command? I've experimented with some of the in command options, but unless I'm missing something, nothing seems to work.
Preferably, I would like it to work like the FILLET -> Multiple command, so I could select a group of texts, convert them then select another group etc, but the 'multiple' option in TXT2MTXT does not work in such a way.
Is there a way to change multiple MTexts at once to a certain font? I don't have the full version, only AutoCAD LT 2013 so unfortunately I don't have the fancy express tools or lisps.
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 was wondering if there is a way to change multiple entities of Mtext. I tried CHT but the options are limited. Is there a way of say changing the color?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI have a user who inadvertently changed the text contents of an mleader from "ByLayer" to 1,255,0, which is giving us some serious issues with our plotting, as we use a .ctb file for printing. Unfortunately, this error must have occurred fairly early in the project, because it is now replicated throughout the 100 page set. The text color was changed through the mtext editor, so just changing the overall properties of the mtext or leader doesn't affect the text. The only way that I know of to correct the issue is to edit each piece of text, select the contents, and change them back to ByLayer. This is going to be a real pain.
So here is the question: Is there a way to change the color of multiple pieces of mtext, without opening each and every individually?
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 RelatedI 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

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.
Can the Plot command be used to combine multiple drawing views into a single DWF file?

I'm trying to make a small program in vb.net that creates are laser drawing. So far I was able to create the drawing from a part in inventor. The only left to do is to add the Part Number + description into this drawing. I'm really struggling on this one. I'm currently able to open the drawing and that's all. I've tried many things from examples I found on forums but it's not working. This is a sample of what I have regarding autocad in my program:

So far so good, but when I create my leaderline and the Mtext generates, it is always preceeded by an "OK" and i can't figure out where it's coming from. I've tried using TrimStart on a number of the strings to no avail. I know it must be something insanely simple but it can't seem to get it.

In MS Word I can have some text that is all in one full width column, then put in a break and have a later section in multiple columns, then a break and go back to one column.
I want to do something similar in ACAD.
Here is how I want it to look.
GENERAL CONDITIONS
1. LOTS OF BOILERPLATE 2. LOTS MORE BOILERPLATE
Here is how MText does it.
GENERAL CONDITIONS 2. LOTS MORE BOILERPLATE
1. LOTS OF BOILERPLATE
Is there a way to separate sections, or do I need to make the "GENERAL CONDITIONS" part a separate mtext object?

If 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.

View 8 Replies View RelatedOne of the things about Mtext that I really like is to dynamically adjust the text box size. I don't seem to be able to do this when using the multileader with the Mtext. The Mtext when selected with the Multileader acts like the single line text where I have to manually insert returns.
