Text -manipulation?

[LukeCAD]

hi everyone,

i've had a look round and cant seem to find an answer, but maybe its because im not really sure what to search for using only a few words, so i thought i'd try to explain it here and hope that someone sees it and points me in the right direction.

Anyway, on to the problem, i have a CAD drawing and i seem to have written all my text at the wrong size , yea, i know, its all single line text but its stacked into 2-5 lines per bit of text like so:

 

abcde

fghij

klmnopq

 

i can shrink the size easy enough, but then i have huge gaps in between the lines and moving them by hand is timeconsuming and will probably look messy, so, i assume there must be a really simple way that i have never been shown to compact? all the text to look neat again at its new size.

 

Thanks in advance

You could use the "scale" command on each group of text to preserve line spacing.

Still, a lot of work to fix..

Yea, i'd looked at that but i dont think i can scale then all at the same time, guess it would still be faster, ish, lesser of 2 evils maybe

I tend to use express tools to create a single MTEXT object to which the new text size can be added. If it has to be single line text it can then be exploded when you are happy with the spacing.

 

still a lot of work though

try using the TXT2MTXT command on the stacked text
