stretchy text

I have a bit of a problem when editing my predecessor's drawings in which he used text that had 'fit' :glare: asscoiated with it. Each word when edited has a set size, how can I change it gobally?

Can you not just select all the text and then in the propoerties window switch their justification and size?

He had a bad habit of keeping everything to one layer. I do wiring diagrams so there's heaps of text and bits and bobs and I'm not talking about just the one detailed drawing I mean about 3-4 years worth of drawings. Humpf! :(

I do not know if this will work but if you have the time try it.

Take all of the mtext and place it in model space.
Put it in a row/column from top to bottom.
Explode it so it is just text.
If you don;t have the lisp tx2mtxt get it.
Use this command to put all the text back together and I think it will all change to one style, color, etc.

I think. I would test it first before I deleted any original work.

The lisp should be here

"...there's heaps of text and bits and bobs"

Can't you use FILTER and filter the text from all the bits and bobs and then change the justification globally? You could have a lisp routine set up so that you simply ran it when each drawing is opened and it would do it automatically.
