movemaptext??

Could someone give me an example of how to properly use the "movemaptext"? For instance if i wanted to put in a variable for X and Y offset of a selection set of numbers.this is what I am trying to use in my lisp.

(COMMAND "MOVEMAPTEXT" SS 301 (strcat "@" (rtos (car a)) "," (rtos (cadr a))

thanks

Post as example of the way you are processing the command manually so that we can arrange these steps in that command call in codes .

this is my current lisp for moving pipe/hanger tags. the user inputs an x and y offset,( or does not input anything to drag tags around manually.). then every tag they click on moves the x and y distance. I would like to replace "movetext" with the "movemaptext" so I can move a selection set of tags instead of one at a time.

(defun c:MMT (/ a COUNT)
(setq count 0)
     (setq a (getpoint "\n X,Y OFFSET OR ENTER FOR MANUAL MODE"))
     (terpri)
     (princ "\n SELECT TEXT    ESC TO EXIT")
     (if (= nil a)
   
       (progn(while (< count 10)
	(COMMAND "MOVETEXT" pause pause)))
    
(progn(while (< count 10)
(COMMAND "MOVETEXT" pause  (strcat "@" (rtos (car a)) "," (rtos (cadr a)))))))


       

 (princ))

Why don't you replace these command with standard move command to move the objects you want ?

I don't have have MEP AutoCAD to know the difference between the above used commands by you , so that's why I suggested to use move .

what I am moving is tags , elevations etc for cadmep pipe and hangers. the text is associated with the object, however text is not really an independent object. if you use the "move" command it will move the pipe or hanger, not just the associated text.So you have to either use the grip for the text, or use the "movetext" command(which does not allow selection sets).I found the "movemaptext" command,but I trying to figure proper syntax and usage for it.

I am sorry , I can't test any codes with the objects you are referring to .

Maybe someone else can help you with it .

thanks I appreciate you taking the time to try anyway.
