Super/sub script text on attributed text

[shamoi]

is this possible? or the "^text" "text^" applies to mtext only?

 

thanks in advance

I just experimented making a Multi Line attribute and using the format ^text and stacking, and the subscript shows properly when you're in the editor and when you plot, but the screen display looks like /text. Go figure.

it works in the multi-line text. but i have an attributed text block. and the ^text doesn't seem to work.

 

thanks.

I've managed to do this.

To do this, you need to temporarily set your MTEXTED variable to Notepad.

Then edit your attribute as you would normally. You will see that when you try to change the multi-line attribute, Notepad will open.

 

 

Then wherever you want to place

• subscript text simply type

  {\H0.7x;\S^2;}

  into Notepad.
  

• superscript text simply type

  {\H0.7x;\S2^;}

  into Notepad.

In the above syntax

• H0.7x is a the height of the subscript/superscript text multiplied by the height of the rest of the text of the attribute
  
• S^2 and S2^ are the different stack options. Both of which will insert 2, this can be changed to any text that you wish to be "stacked".

When done, simply reset your MTEXTED back to its original setting

I have attached the block i wanted to put superscript text to.

 

Those are medgases so i wanted to put oxygen (O^2) Carbon Dioxide (CO^2) et al. I cant seem to get it to work here.

 

Ive tried the notepad way it works if it's a multi line. but not on this block.

 

I must be doing something wrong.

 

Thanks Again.

The reason you couldn't get it to work is because you have multiple instances of attributes, not multi-line attributes.

I have tried to fix it, have a look see at the attached

Thanks NBC...much appreciated. Now i see the difference...

[shamoi]

Hi again NBC if i wanted the text widths to be editable not fixed at .4 do i just remove \W0.4000; ?

 

thanks thanks:)

[NBC]

check out the STYLE command, you will see I created a new style called Romans04 (or something like that). You should be able to change the width there

[shamoi]

Oh ok...it's like a fix width? and can't be different for every other one?

 

sorry that may sound toopid...

[shamoi]

OK I got it... I just need to put {} to be able to change it's width individually...thanks again for your help NBC

There is always more than one way to do everything in AutoCAD; it is what achieves the desired end result is what it important.

Yeah...but there is just no way we can know all about it unless we ask and add it to our own knowledge. Thanks for Forums and helpful individuals like you
