how to globally change text color to by layer in autocad 2008

[hrehor]

Even though you were pretty rude in your above post, I'll help you out anyways. Here is a Lisp routine made by Elise Moss that globally changes all MTEXT to ByLayer throughout the entire drawing. Please be courteous to our senior members, we are only here to help and not all of use are using older versions of AutoCAD when we make suggestions.

nice LISP, though hungry. it eats the last character of mtext in 2011 :-(

where is the LISP?

It is part of the last post (#10) on page 1 by StykFacE. Look for the cmtxt.lsp link.

thank you very much

how can i modify the lisp so it keeps the precision the same as it is ??

noorb: Are we talking about the same lisp routine? The one referenced here globally changes all MTEXT to ByLayer. It should not change "precision". And which "precision" are you talking about?

[noorb]

yes i am talking about the same lisp ... i mean it eats the last character of mtext in autocad 2007
ex : 786.674 will be 786.67 after using the lisp !!

do you have any solution for this ??
thank you so much

In my test it did not change the precision of any number included in MTEXT no matter how many decimal places after the < . > were occupied. My test numbers looked like this:

123.456
234.5678
345.678
678.9999
123.4567890

My precision was set to 3 decimal places in the Units command.

its not only about precision , also the words ...
for example : station will be statio after using the lisp .. i think there is something wrong in it , but i can't figure it out ..
if you can check it you will see what am talking about ..
please help

Sorry, but I encountered no problems with characters used in words or numbers being truncated in any manner. And yes, I ran the lisp routine six times using a variety of MTEXT entries.
