AutoCad :: Bullets And Numbering Greyed Out When Using MText
May 31, 2011
When i use mtext in autocad 2011 i cannot select bullets and numbering as it is greyed out. I did uncheck bullets and numbering by mistake and now cannot select it.
I have a large body of text that is numbered and i need to break it into two separate mtext blocks. is there any way to keep the numbering continuous between the two blocks? every time i delete the redundant text in the second mtext block it starts my numbering over.
Possible to use a block, such as a hex or circle with a number centered, instead of the out of the box number with a period? I have Key Notes that need numbers with a hex, and Construction notes, that need numbers in a circle. I can label these items with multileaders with a user defined block, but when I type out the notes using mtext, I want to use the exact same blocks to number the notes that correspond with my multileader label. I have been manually inserting blocks along side of my un-numbered mtext notes.
When I try use ' TCOUNT ' with mtext, the numbering increments not by the value I enter (ie 1,1) but rather by the number of lines in the mtext; 3 lines of mtext would count 1, 4, 7, 10, 13...). BUT this only happens if the 'enter' button was pressed to start a new 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?
I 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 am making a numbered list, including sub numbers (ex. 8.10). What I want to do is under the sub-number create sub-lines with lowercase letters, so it would like this:
a) test 123
b) test ABC
The problem I am having is that I can create the lettered list, close the mtext, and it will look fine . . . until I re-open the mtext and then the 8.11 changes to 8.1. and so on.
im tryin to make a a graphic based on the matrix. makin the cool bullets trail affect they use. You know when hes dodgin the bullets that are goin really slow and it looks like they have kinda smoke behind them?
Why can only symbol fonts be used for bullets in X6?
Almost every font has at least the simple bullet (0x95) and the middot (0xB7) included. And there are many non-symbol-fonts out there that contain interesting bullet-like characters.Why the restriction? For a more compact selection list? Corel, could we have a checkbox "[X] Symbol fonts only " to uncheck if one wants to choose from all installed fonts?
I just want to create some simple text bullits at the beginning of some lines of text for a small ad (Black boxes or something similar). Simple to do in MS Word, Wondering what's the easiest way in PS 7?
A lot of the time I like bullets to be a different colour to their following text. In past versions you could highlight the bullet and pick a colour from the palette. You had to do it with each individual bullet which was a pain, but it could be done. Now if you highlight a bullet and then click a colour, nothing happens. I was hoping that this might be because they'd added a function to choose bullet colour elsewhere (such as in the Bullets window), but apparently not.
I've never used bullets in Corel Draw 12 before until today - regardless - they are not working.
Issue: When I select a bullet, the first one works - I then hit return and the next bullet is a ? with box around it. Looks almost like the program lost it's source path for the bullet to me?
I have a list - want to apply bullets, but cannot.
I've tried changing fonts, but bullets are greyed out in the paragraph section of text properties box for every font I choose. I've selected many fonts ... still ... no bullets.
In my company we use the SSM and label our sheets as follows:
(Sheet Number) - (Sheet Title)
G-1.00 - Summary of Quantites
WM-1.01 - Water Main
etc...
In the border we would like to put page SHEET XX OF YY. The Total count is simple with a custom field however how would I get the XX part to show the sheet number as a number and not G-1.00.
What I'd like to know is if there's a way to automatically update the sheet number in separate dwgs.
For example: at work we have 45 separate dwgs in multiple disciplines. Is there a way to have the "x" in "Sheet X of 45" update automatically on each sheet? This way whenever we insert/delete a sheet in the set it automatically knows which number it is in regard to the set as a whole.
Not welds from a model, but if I go through 4 .idw sheets of details...and annotate all of my welds is there a way to assign numbers to them without manually entering them?
Our welds are track by number through QA, and depending on the amount of sheets and welds in a set of drawings for a given assembly, sometimes it's a real chore when you realize you forgot to add a weld to something on page 2 when you've already edited weld tails through page 5.

Anyway, I have an .idw series of drawings that i want to start at sheet #13. How? It is a clients title block and the format is "sheet 1 of 8, sheet 2 of 8, etc." so I need sheet 13 of 26, etc..
I am trying to number my doors, and the door tag (AEC6_Door_Tag), won't let me create door numbers with 3 digits. I have never had this problem before. It keeps creating tags with 2 digits.
Lets say for e.g. that I have 12 parts within an assembly, once auto balloon has done it’s job you notice that No. 9 balloon is blank and No. 10 balloon only shows 1 and not 10.
In Inventor 2010 is it possible to change the numbering system so that it continues sequentially with each assembly / subassembly added across the sheets in a drawing file?
I have a user that is on a 4 sheet site plans set and is opting to prefix his sheet numbers with C-. I have n issue with that, but he is also forcing the numbers into the hundreds with C-100 for sheet 1. In and of itself I wouldn't be too bothered by it except he is insisting on sheets 2-4 to C-200, C-300, C-400.
My biggest issue is this is making some inconveniences with SSM.My second issue is why use 5 character for a single digit.
My last peeve is if I see drawing C-100 my minds eye is looking for C-101 through C-199 and so on. Also if your using C- for the civil drawing would that preclude the need for C-200 - C-400?
Part numbering schemes. At my workplace we have descent naming conventions for top level assemblies/products however our substructuring is quite a mess. A previous workplace had a set in stone scheme for naming sub assemblies and parts based on the top level assembly or product.
I am in the process of developing a policy and am curious to see what others have done instead of re inventing the wheel.
I am counting all the doors in a project in autocad 2008, but It is becoming to be a real pain in the but because every time I change some door, I have to renumber almost every door .. I am sure there is an easier way to do that.. I am using a block with atributes and I would like to know if there is a way autocad can number automatically each block atribute.. I know that with mtext it is very easy (I use in my parking spaces) but with blocks I dont know how to do it . like each time I put a block the number gets updated, and each time I take one off it gets updated again..
Just a quick one. About 4 years a go I put a numbering lisp into AutoCad I still have the numbering lisp and now want to put it into AutoCad 2012. I can't remember for the life of me how to do it.
