Express Tools

[GAG]

I had Express tools in my AutoCad 2000 and used the [Multiple Entity Strech] and the [Explode Attributes to Text] extensively. Are these tools available in or for AutoCad Lt 2007?

i can only say for 2007 full but explode to text is available in the express tool on that, so i would say there is a good chance of it being there in Lt aswell

Thanks,
I will look into that!

As far as I know, no express tools in ANY LT version direct from AutoDesk. However you can buy Express Tools from 3rd party vendors.

LT versions do not come with Express Tools. Add-in sets of express tools for LT versions are available (some free, sone at cost) from third parties. Here is one place you can look:

There also used to be something called LT Extender (maybe spelled LT-Extender), which was a free download. It could be found by doing a Google search. However I heard that Autodesk was suing the entity that published it, so it may not be out there currently.

one way around not having the express tool in lt is to follow these commands (if they are available in LT)
1, wmfout (select your block with its attributes)
2, wmfin (the new wmf file you just created)
3, explode (select the wmf you just inserted)

the text in you attribute fields should now be text

Theres bound to be some fre lisps out there.

Try searching the LISP forum here, sorry don't own LT or know ANYTHING about lisps.

Sure "BUT" LT can't use lisp either. Again 3rd party add-ons can enable it but that also costs $$.
