Undocumented Codes for MTEXTs

[Michaels]

Hello,

In my codes below, I have a very nice codes that control with Mtext's contents
which are highlighted in red.

I looked for the rest but without a result. So anybody have any please ?

(vl-load-com)
(setq MyCadDocs (vla-get-activedocument (vlax-get-acad-object)))
(setq pt (getpoint "\n Specify point for text :"))
(vla-put-attachmentpoint (vla-addmtext (vla-get-modelspace MyCadDocs)
          (vlax-3d-point pt)
          0
          "{\\C230 Michaels \\C5;!}")
        acattachmentpointmiddlecenter)

many thanks.

Firstly, the acAttachmentPointMiddleCenter is just the enum for vla-put-AttachmentPoint - look it up in the ACAD Dev Help.

As for the "{\\C230" etc, these are the dreaded MText formatting codes, and there are a multitude of codes that can appear.

Here is a small reference:

Here is another diagram that I constructed for my own reference:

It's a very nice and kind of you to share your own works with the others, I do thank you from my heart.

I followed you uploaded Cad help and I found it in mine.

And the (vla-put-AttachmentPoint) is really great to get use with it from now on .

Thank you Lee for your special Help.
