Convert text to a block

Recommended Posts

is there a lisp routine or macro out there that will convert crappy text to a set block? ie someone had used simplex 15' text for street names, we now have a street name block using romans 12' text. want to be able to click on text and convert to block while converting the text street name to the street name entry. there's only one entry for the street name block.

thanks!

Are you saying that your new street naming text is a block with one attribute, and the attribute is the street name? If so, you could use a fairly simple lisp routine. It would prompt you to select text, extract the string, insertion point, and rotation, delete the text, then insert the block at the text insert point with the appropriate string & rotation.
