View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I insert text with either the TEXT command or MTEXT command, the text is displayed mirrored. This doesn't seem to have anything to do with the MIRRTEXT variable because that is used when I'm actually mirroring the text. In my case, the text is mirrored as soon as I insert it. How can I get it back to normal? Is there a variable I'm missing?
I'm using AutoCAD LT 2012 .
When I hit (t), i click anywhere and start to type but nothing shows up. its a blinking dot. Even if i make a text box, nothing will show up not even a blinking cursor.

Basically I got a process which is quite long , let's say 30 seconds.
I want put a counter at command line showing to
user how many objects has been processed so far. But I don't want to use New Line Feed to change the line and keep each new number at same line and same location of command line.
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?

Why the break at point command is different when I write it than when I click on it? I mean, when I use the command by redoing it with the spacebar or with the keyboard shortcut, the line that I want to break is not only break at a single point but from this point to the middle of the line…

View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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

View 3 Replies View RelatedI used the command qselect to select all mtext in model space. I then went to the properties menue and changed all mtext to 1" height.
I've got five pages, each with a different viewport. Each viewport is the same scale as the previous one however the text size is not.
Mtext was created under the same style.
I'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).
Is it possible to write an event handler for an autocad event/ command like insert new block? I want the event to trigger the execution of an update routine . something like this post

Suddenly, the multi line text editor in no longer displaying when I select "new" from within the DIMEDIT command. I'm presuming that there is some sort of system variable that controls this, but I have not been able to find it in the help files. The Mtext editor is working from the Mtext command, so I know it's not the DTEXTED variable.

I'm trying to write a lisp routine that, when I invoke the mleader command, osmode is set to "nearest" & orthomode is set off. I then would like the original settings to be returned.
attached is what I have written so far:-
I am trying to design a key chain, and I would like to write a 3D text on an arc. Is there a solution to that chalenge, other than drawing every letter with a polyline and then press pulling it?
I am working in ACad 2008.
I recently found this lisp routine which changes dimension text from the actual measurement to EQ.
(Defun c:equaldim ()
(setq newdim (entsel "

with EQ.:"))
(setq newdimvalue "EQ.")
(command "dimedit" "n" newdimvalue
newdim "")
(princ)
)
I would like to be able to do the same in 2013 LT using a macro. All efforts to write a macro have failed because I don't know what controls the Text Override.
How to convert "TEXT" to "MTEXT". I inherited a bunch of drawings and want to convert some of the text to a particular font. Since many of the annotations are in TEXT, I haven't been able to find a way to change the font. I can change the style in Properties, but not the font.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am having trouble creating 3D text using the mtext->txtexp->extrude method. In particular, the number "4" breaks the extrude, which returns:
Command: extrude
Current wire frame density: ISOLINES=8, Closed profiles creation mode = Solid
26 found
Cannot sweep or extrude a self-intersecting curve.
1 object removed from selection set.
I have tried most of the available True-Type fonts, for the text but all give the same error. I can edit the polyline generated by txtexp by hand to remove the problem, but I am trying to automate the process. How to get this to work?

Tool to combine multiple pieces of Mtext into a single Mtext with paragraphs?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI am doing my general notes
I would like the top text to be larger and a different text style than the next text can this be done

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 RelatedI 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.
I am using mtext and would like to put the ruler over the top of the text, not underneath it how do I change this.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI am having issues with text size when I attempt to change the text size in MTEXT. It is set to copy the last size I used but when I need to edit the size, it multiplies what I enter by 8 and turns inches into feet. In other words, I try to resize 6" to 3". The text editor will then multiply 3" x 8 and size the text to 24 feet.
View 9 Replies View RelatedWhenever 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.
I basically have a block with two text attributes which they are the same but in different positions.
When you double click on the block I don't want to enter "A" as the attribute value twice. I just want to type "A" one time and automatically receive it on the other position as "A" too.
Basically it is Detail(A-A) as in the following block.
