Text 2 MText Upgraded

[Phiphi]

Hi Lee,

When I try to joint many Dtext that // to Y axis then I have a Mtext that // to X axis. (This Mtext is rotated 90 degrees so I must rotate 90 degrees to have Mtext // to Y)

This is the problem that I had when using your Text2Mtext.lsp. Can you please check/upgrade. Thank you.

[Lee Mac]

I don't know what you are talking about.

Lee, please open the attached drawing for details. Thanks.

Dtext2Mtext.dwg

Phiphi,

 

I see nothing wrong with the result?

 

The original text is rotated by 90 degrees, hence the result will also be rotated.

 

I did however, find another bug with my program, regarding the offset from the cursor when the MText is rotated. I shall update this now.

[Phiphi]

Thanks, Lee.

[Lee Mac]

Are you saying it isn't?

[Phiphi]

I figured out the problem: I did use Text2Mtext V1.4

With using the latest version, everything is so good.

Thank you for your programs. Cheers. PP.

You're welcome

Hi Lee,

The programmer who converted our drawing files from our previous software to Autocad, converted all single line text to single line MText. The result is, your amazing T2M program doesn't remove the extra spaces between text lines when using Same Line option when MText is the source. Would you modify T2M to trim the source when the source is MText? Thank You.

I'll see what I can do when I get a minute

This routine is great!... I decided to give it a try today... one of the best things is that you can select either single line text or mtext at the begining... is fast, powerful and doesn´t need any input for options...

 

this one SHOULD be an autocad command.

[gilsoto13]

I usually need mtext to have 4 control points, and most of the cases TopLeft justified. This routine also makes new mtexts with 4 control, but not in all cases. So, for those cases when we don't get the control points, I suggest people to use a routine "mw.lsp" to convert selected mtexts to 4 control points objects, search for "MW" or my started threads in this forum.

Gilsoto13 - I suggest you put your Lisp up in its own thread to clarify that it is not part of Lee Macs routine.

[Lee Mac]

Thanks Gilsoto, I'm glad you like it

 

As for the control points - that would indicate to me that the MText has no width. I'm not sure why this would be, but I don't have the time today to investigate/fix it.

Lee, I just stumbled across your T2M routine and I'm already using it extensively. One thing that I kind of dislike is that the text attaches to the cursor and then you place it somewhere when you are done adding text to it. Typically for me I'm converting a group of notes to Mtext and I normally want to keep it all at the same place as the first chunk of text is located.

 

Since everyone seems to be attacking you with requests/suggestions, is there any chance that this routine could be revised so that the text is just added to the first piece of text selected?

 

Thanks in advance, and great program no matter the answer.

If that's what you want, just use TXT2MTXt.

[beardking]

If that's what you want, just use TXT2MTXt.

 

Doing that I would get all of the text in one continuous string with no hard returns, which isn't what I'm wanting. I'm still wanting the hard returns that Lee's LISP gives you, I'm just wanting all of the text to be tied to the location of the 1st line of text selected rather than it following the cursor until you hit enter to place the new group of text.

After you execute TXT2MTXT, look at the settings and you can set that very thing. :wink:
