AutoCad :: Batch Convert Field To Text?
Apr 7, 2008
Any way to convert multiple fields to text? I've got a bunch of m-text objects, and they each have a field that references a polyline. (example: field=elevation of pline). I like to convert the fields to text when I need to send the file to someone, so that they can't inadvertently change the values. For now, I use the right click menu in the text editor for convert field to text, but I'd like to be able to change multiples at once. CAD 2008.

I've got hundreds of files to convert.
In VBA, how can I batch convert field attributes in blocks to text attributes while retaining the blocks? Is there a simple way to univerally convert them all at onceusing VBA? The plotted values for the fields must be retained, too.
Explode will not retain the value of the field.
Burst will not work as it explodes the blocks as well.
You can right-click on the field and slelct "Convert to text" from the RCM. So I know that the process exists within CAD, just need to batch the process for a quantity of DWGs at a time - in VBA.

Is it possible to create a field that will show only a portion of the contents within an text object? Maybe using diesel or something?
Example:
There is a text object that contains "FIRST TEST", is it possible to create a field from that object that contains the first 5 letters of the text "FIRST". If the original text was changed to "SECOND TEST" the field would be updated "SECON"

I have about 2300 .eps files that I need to convert to .jpg so they can be used in an online store.
All of the eps files need to be resized to a maximum of 700px wide, coverted to an rgb colorspace, and 72dpi and then saved as a .jpg file
I have been trying to use the actions pallet to record the actions and then run a batch action but to no avail. I have adobe PS CS4.
Below are screenshots of what i have tried to setup. (After this I have about the same amount of .TIFF files that also need converted.)

I am having trouble converting .psd files to .jp2s. When I make the action, in the "save as" box I have to first pick the JPEG 2000 format, then manually change the extension from .jpf to .jp2. The problem is that when I set everything up, the files save with the extension .jpf, because that is the default extension for JPEG 2000, and my manual change is ignored in the replaying of the action.

I have a lot of xcf's which I want to save as png's and do not want to do this manually in Gimp.
How do a batch convert xcf to png using the terminal (linux)?
Needs to be through Gimp CLI as ImageMagick convert won't handle the files properly and i can't get xcf2png to work.

Is there a way to force text pulled from a drawing property to wrap to fit a cell of Mtext? In otherwords,... a multi line field? Some of our drawing titles are several lines, and instead of wrapping inside the field box in our titleblock, the text just spreads out all over. I'd rather not go back to the old method of having a custom property for Line 1, Line 2 etc....

Yesterday this issue was like it should be in LT 2012. Today it had changed.
Lets say i give command L. It nicely shows up in command field, i press enter, now i have command LINE. It asks for first point. I give 0,0,0. Problem is that suddenly that 0,0,0 shows in screen next to cursor instead of command line.
I want to give all commands and related to the command line. How can i change this back as i cannot find correct tab?

I want to insert a text into a block that contains a field. The field I want to look up the value of an attribute that is also contained in the block. Now when I have this complete and then change the block attribute the fields do not update to the new value of the attribute. An example file is attached.
Now I am open to creating the block in a different way, so any way to make this concept work? I want everything to be contained in the block.
I already tried to work around my problem by making 2 separate attributes, where the 2nd attribute contains the field that looks up the value of the 1st attribute - this did not work. Another thing I tried was after the block was made, I edit the 2nd attribute by inserting the field and this worked fine - the down side is that the field is not the default of the attribute (so the block must already be present in the drawing model space and that instance must be copied to make more).

I have encountered a problem with some of my 'Dynamic Blocks', which seem to have become corrupted & have incorporated differing attributes. The text has moved out of the field it was originally intended to be in & I can not get it to return to its correct location, using 'Block Editor'. After testing one particular block, I have discovered it has picked-up contrasting attributes:
(i) If one 'double-clicks' on the dynamic block the 'Attributes dialog box' offers one set of 'Text Options.' However,
(ii) If the Block Attribute Manager command 'Battman' is used for the same block, different 'Text Options' are shown?
These are un-editable, without losing all of the data in the drawing. Moreover, I cannot get into the depths of the drawing to synchronize it without losing all of the data? Plus, it will not allow me to redefine the block, via the design center, Blocks (Right-Hand Click & redefine). Plus, I cannot drop a fully functioning block in from another drawing & redefine?

I have over 200 pdf files that I need to batch convert to tiff format. From what I've gathered, this can be done simply using Ghostscript. Unfortunately, I have no experience running GS as a command line program, and only installed it as part of Gimp. Any tool for gimp that could do this? or step by step, through the process of using GS to perform this task?

I would like to link a series of text lines in an autocad drawing to there corresponding fields in an excel sheet, I can not use tables in autocad because of the way other software uses the text in autocad. I have attached files of the text layout in acad and of the sheet in excel. One thing that keeps me from using tables in acad is that every line of text is on a different layer, with tables you can't control the layer of table its always on the current layer.

I would like to make a split balloon where the top retrieves the item number and the bottom is a prompted text area. Is this possible?
If the above is not possible my fallback plan would like to make a sketched symbol function in exactly the same way. I believe this option would be significantly more code. If I have to go this route, is there a way to directly mimic getting the item number like the balloon function does?
--My current process involves attaching a user symbol, getting the proper leader node, attached entity, geometry, model geometry, containing occurrence, and then BOM of the component occurrence. Keep in mind this doesn't work for phantom or reference components.
