Ozymandias Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 hey guys. I have just been given Autocad for the mac and as some of you may be aware there is a serious lack of functionality and even more alarming express tools.. So I was wondering if any one still has some old lisps they have lying around from the pre express tools days, specifically a bit of script that will allow me to change text to Mtext WITHOUT the use of the txt2mtxt command as this is missing from the MAC version. Thanks Quote
Lee Mac Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Since you are using AutoCAD on a Mac, would that mean the use of Visual LISP functions is out of the question? Quote
SOliver Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?16678-Convert-text-to-mtext-in-lisp The above thread should solve your problem. Friendly pro tip: before posting it's often a good idea to go to google and enter "site:cadtutor.net" at the start or end of your query. This will filter the google results to only those of this website. Quote
Ozymandias Posted April 14, 2011 Author Posted April 14, 2011 Pro Tip well recieved and use of visual lisp functions is not out of the command as APPLOAD still works and I have added a few of my collected lisps without any problems its just the use of express tools commands that have not been installed which is the problem.. SOliver - I have already read that thread and the lisp that is contained within actually references the Txt2Mtxt Command which has been omitted from MacCAD... Poor show I think but I am hopeful this will be solved in the coming years unless they abandon it. Quote
alanjt Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 TXT2MTXT.LSP Convert a selection set of TEXT objects to a single MTEXT object. Unlike others it does not require that you select the text in any particular order. AutoCAD R13+ http://www.dotsoft.com/freestuff.htm Quote
Ozymandias Posted April 15, 2011 Author Posted April 15, 2011 Thanks that looks like its just what I wanted. I think its old R14 lisps for me at least for the next couple of years lol Quote
