GVR Posted February 15, 2011 Posted February 15, 2011 Hello all, I have a drawing from a other company. They have used DTEXT in a Rectangle as a symbol. I have to replace all the DTEXT symbols (text TE or TO) with our symbols as a block. So is there a way to place a block on the insertion-point of the DTEXT "TE". The DTEXT stays on a separate layer. I'm using acad LT 2009 or if necessary a can use acad 2006 bud i can't work with lisp or VBA. I hope someone can help me. Quote

May be easiest to insert a block to the Insertion point of the text (Dtext is the name of a discontinued command, see acad.pgp, and not the name of an object). Quote
GVR Posted February 15, 2011 Author Posted February 15, 2011 Maybe it was better to use the term "single line text" instead of Dtext. There are 15 "TE" 's and 200 "TO" 's. So it's doable to replace them all by hand, but i prefer to be lazy . And i just wonder if it's possible to do it on a automatic way. Quote
Grant Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 Unfortunately to do it a lazy way would require some programming with lisp You could look at a script to do most of the work for you (to keep the key strokes to a minimum) but you will have to still place the block where you want it. Quote
GVR Posted February 16, 2011 Author Posted February 16, 2011 Thanks for the answer. I did it already the old-fashioned way. So i'm very tired now..... Quote
