ReMark Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 After using the UNION command. Use Express Tools > Text Explode command. Extrude each portion of the text 30mm then union. Warning. The text gets quite large and will have to be scaled down to fit back like it did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Look at the top of your screen where the drop-down menus are located. At the very end, after Modify, Window, and Help is there a heading that says Express? Yes or No? If there is then you have a command called Explode Text right at your fingertips under the category Text. Or you can type TXTEXP at the command line followed by hitting the Enter key.

ReMark Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 Where did you disappear to? It doesn't take that long to see if you have Express Tools available. Anyway, start the command and select the text. When it explodes it will disappear from your screen. Do a zoom > all to see it. Now zoom in on the text and extrude it the 30mm height. When finished, union the separate parts of each letter so you end up with a single 3D solid and not multiple objects. Once that is done you will have to scale down the text so it fits back in its original location. The percentage will be up to you. It make take multiple attempts to get it right. Be patient and you'll be rewarded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 You know some days you can't always get what you want. I think the Rolling Stones said that. Use the GROUP command on the separate characters. Done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikekmx Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Word turn into letters after Explode what I can do now ? just in case it's unclear....you have exploded the text in order to extrude it. it is no longer text, just lines (after the explode but before the extrude) afaik, there is not a way to extrude actual text and maintain it as text - unless it can be done in LISP. there may be something useful here: http://www.lee-mac.com/programs.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanted90 Posted November 28, 2013 Author Share Posted November 28, 2013 In English language the words after exploded will be ok .. but other language like my language the words after exploded be damage why ? Can please give solving for that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSasu Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 The tools suggested above is in fact converting a text entity to a set of closed polylines resembling the original letters. It just automate the process of exporting the label in WMF format and importing it back into AutoCAD. The only setback is that a letter may be formed by more than one closed contour. From the screen-shots posted by ReMark the appearance of the label seems to be preserved. Can you please post a set of before/after screen shots to allow us to understand your issue?

ReMark Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 When your text is exploded you will find that some (not all) of the letters are made up of multiple regions. That's OK. Extrude the regions 30mm. When done union the regions to achieve a single entity. The lines between regions will disappear. The first image I posted showed your text BEFORE I used the union command. The second image (in blue) is AFTER the union command is used. You should have been able to explode, extrude, union, group and scale the text in five minutes or less. You're making this more difficult than it really needs to be. Stop over thinking the task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 Yes, I see the problem. What can I say? I'm an English speaking/writing person. The nuances of the Arabic language escape me. It looks like it might be possible to reassemble the exploded version into something that comes close to the original but it will take some work. Have you tried to do that?
