How to determine length of a text on the drawing.

[M76]

Hi!

 

I need help yet again. I need to determine the length of a text object in the drawing, not the number of characters it has, but the space it takes in real world units. I cannot base my calculation solely on the number of characters it has, because different characters have different lengths.

 

It only needs to be precise for up to 10 characters.

 

thanks

(vlax-getboundingbox Obj 'P1 'P2)

If it's MText, you can (cdr (assoc 42 (entget (car (entsel)))))
