Shandley Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Greetings, I am not what you would call a noob but I am self taught. This being said, I have been playing with Autocad for about 8 years now and I use it daily at work. I am trying to explode some text using txtexp. When I do that, it does explode but it scales it to just over 1/25th the size and sends it off to the upper right of the screen. This doesn't happen EVERY time but there is no rhyme or reason to it. I tired Autocad 2004, 2006, and 2007. I tried individual texts and multiple. Here is a couple photos of the issue: BEFORE AFTER - You can see the text in the upper right corner as a bit of a white blur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpseifert Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Is the font you are using a .ttf? Txtexp doesn't play well with .ttf fonts, especially if it is mtext. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanjt Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Is the text annotative? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doh, I didn't even pay attention to what version you were running. I'm dumb. Could you get away with exploding the text the executing TXTEXP?

Shandley Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 Thats what I used. I tried just x and I tried the Express, Text, Explode Text (which I think is the same as TXTEXP) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shandley Posted February 23, 2010 Author Share Posted February 23, 2010 Ok, when I EXPLODE the MText, it turns it into the Standard style. I changed the style to the font I want and used the TXTEXP command but it does the exact same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
