Need lisp to Align text to middle center of a box/rectangle?

[Ste1978]

I'm after a lisp that will align all text I select to the middle center of the rectangle the text is in.

Is there a way to do this?

[Ste1978]

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks.

Pretty hard one to answer. It will involve picking the centre point of every box. That will not make it very efficient.

You can't just select all the text and set the justification in the Properties box?

you could always delete all the current rectangles, use the Express Tools command TCIRCLE to redo rectangles.
that will automatically centre a rectangle around the text

But then you still have to move the surround plus text back into position? So once again, not very efficient.

I thought of this but I have a lot of text all with different alignments placed on a drawing (with no snap on Grrrr!), so I have to retype the text with snap on and put into a table.

I seem to spend most of my time correcting peoples incompetent AutoCAD techniques!

EDIT: Actually I have an idea....

Close, Site/Civil. Too often we get site layouts from others, they might have well used crayons.
