Combining mtext

[johnengineer]

Autocad Express Tools allows converting text to mtext. How would I be able to combine multiple mtext into a single mtext?

[ReMark]

A routine to do just that is included in:

ToolPac 11.0 by dotsoft. $245 US.

A steep price to pay unless you can make use of the other routines included or you have a great deal of mtext to combine.

Have you ever tried Copy/paste??????

It really is very easy.........

[johnengineer]

It would be tedious if the drawing had multiple mtexts.

if the MTEXT are all in line, the EXPLODE to text, then run the TXT2MTXT command.

That command works, but they are still stacked into lines. I see you can stretch the text by grabbing the handles and modifying it until it is on one line, but then it has spaces between the former lines. Do you know a way of having it do that automatically, and remove spaces where you want to?

Example:

123
456
789


becomes:

123456 789

The space between 3 and 4 removed.

it seems like if there was a way to do the mtext ruler without the dialog box that would be the key. but ddedit and mtedit don't seem to work in command line only.
