Mtext Paragraph Alignment

i have been searching for months for something that would help me out with this. i am looking for something that will work with MTEXT. when i search for justification it seems to change where the "TAB" is located. (right, left, top left, top right, bottom right, bottom left, ETC.)

but in order to get the text within the MTEXT to align to the left or to the right you have to double click to open the text editor and then select all and change the paragraph alignment. attached in the justify lisp that i found a while ago that will just change the location of the tab. if you run this lisp in AutoCAD you will see what i mean. i hope that this make sense.

justify.lsp

You're most likely having the problem you are because of those buttons. They hardcode ( "\\pxq*,textstring" ) the justification into the textstring. Do a search for 'stripmtext' on the interwebs and that will cleanup the mess.

I would always strongly advise against the use of formatting applied through the MText Editor (as it results in MText formatting codes embedded in the text content), but if you wish to specifically wish to apply such formatting through the use of a program, the program will merely need to update the MText content with the following formatting codes:

       "abc"  ; -> Standard
"\\pxql;abc"  ; -> Left   Justified
"\\pxqc;abc"  ; -> Center Justified
"\\pxqr;abc"  ; -> Right  Justified
"\\pxqj;abc"  ; ->        Justified
"\\pxqd;abc"  ; -> Distributed
