View 9 Replies View RelatedI've had a simple lisp I've been using for years that suddenly disappeared. It required that you identify a block name, tag name, and the value that you want the tag to be. All of this is performed via command line, so it is scriptable. Since I lost it, I've been experimenting with -attedit. This command comes frustratingly close to what I'm looking for, except it only appends an existing tag, or replaces a specific string within the tag; I can't get it to replace the entire tag, regardless of its value.

or
2> How to make -attedit replace a tag value without regard to what the value currently is (like a * wildcard)?
Have some incoming architectural drawings with loads of different tt font types within mtext. I have globally altered the secondary font styles in format however this does not update the font type within the mtext. Have symplex with areal set and visa versa. Looks like the lot has been set manually different for each individual item of mtext. Nightmare. All mtext is inconsistant and loads of different types on the same drawing. Some idiot must have had a lot of beer.
Ideally I would like to set every piece of text and mtext to simlex. Must be an easy way.
Units percision is at 1/64".
I have a custom text style set to a height of 3/32"
I have a custom mleader style set to mtext with text set to that style.
The text height setting in the mleader style dialog is 3/32" and grayed out.
Why create an option and then block us from using it?
All new mleaders are being created with a text height of 1/8". Why?

I have a itemized list in a mtext group and I want to change the text style in the main headings. When I select the heading line it says all style will be changed.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am trying to change the default label styles for AddSegmentLabel under general styles using .NET...
Dim X As Autodesk.Civil.Settings.SettingsCmdAddSegmentLabel = CD.Settings.GetSettings(Of Autodesk.Civil.Settings.SettingsCmdAddSegmentLabel)()
X.Styles.LineLabel.Value = strChildStyleName ... says name does not exist
or
X.Styles.LineLabelStyleId.Value = oidChildStyle ... "The type of objectId is wrong"
If I manually change it to a child style and then check the values, they are the same as what I'm trying to set them to. If you use a "parent" style then these both work. Am I doing something wrong or this another limitation?

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 2 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 8 Replies View RelatedWhen 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?

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?
it's possible to do a "global change" (values) to Attributes in MText?
I'm using 2010.
Those MText attributes are practical but a pain in the neck for my existing tools!

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.

I am currently working with the latest CAD available.
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.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am completely new to ilogic but would like to make a rule in my idw file that change the hatch pattern in a section of a specific material.
Short Version:
I have an aluminum extrusion part. Material is set to Aluminum-6061. In any section view of this part I want the hatch to be ANSI 31 with a rotation of 45 degrees and a scale of .02 How do I do this?
I'm using multileader overall scale to define ml. types for different drawing scales. For example ml. style 1_10 uses overall scale 10 and 1_20 uses overall scale 20.
When i select the ml. and change its style from 1_10 to 1_20 it also changes the overall scale to 20 which is ok.
Thing is that if i want to change it back from 1_20 to 1_10 (or something else) it only changes the dimstyle and not the overall scale(text height).
