Text2mText lisp --- Without using express tools command


Recommended Posts

Posted

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

Since you are using AutoCAD on a Mac, would that mean the use of Visual LISP functions is out of the question?

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.

dis.png 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+
