cggentry Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I used this many years ago... There was a way to make your text size itself to fit within a defined area. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm sure someone here will be able to help me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 DTEXT had a justification style called Fit. I don't think that option is available in MTEXT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cggentry Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 Mark, that works... sort of. I forget to add, I don't have access to express tools, as my corporate keepers refuse to give them to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 What??? Express Tools, in my opinion, is a must have. What is their rationale for denying you access to ET? Do they have any idea how long these tools have been around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cggentry Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 yeah, i agree as well. I've tried to get it, but nobody will back me. Hell, I can't even get them to get a 64bit operating system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 So IT or management has physical possession of the installation disks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cggentry Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 IT, but i think it's off site. We run a server version of AutoCAD and it's all some pre-made packaged B.S. Half of my tool bars won't even load. The IT guys in this facility can't help, it's corporate IT that makes the call, and whatever they say has to trickle down through the right channels. Unfortunately, I can't get to the top of the line before I get shut down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cggentry Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 Haha, awesome. I probably have to have admin rights to install them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cggentry Posted June 23, 2010 Author Share Posted June 23, 2010 Well, you let me know what I gotta do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Textfit.lsp is a separate (6K) lisp file located in the Express folder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alanjt Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Textfit.lsp is a separate (6K) lisp file located in the Express folder. I know, but if I'm going to send him one ET, why not give everything to him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReMark Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I wasn't suggesting a thing. I was just pointing out some information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbroada Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 as an aside from one who also has "the corporate install", our machines are scanned at least once a week and any "new" software is registered and reported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReMark Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Yeah, probably a bad idea. Don't want to risk getting someone in trouble. Good point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbroada Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 don't want to let somebody be efficient either I wrote a VB program years ago which enables us to combine a dxf file with an access database to produce (typically) 1000+ drawings in a couple of hours. We are banned from using it until it has gone through quality control - which could be several years. So far it hasn't been removed from our computers but I'm just waiting....

Cad64 Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Haha, awesome. I probably have to have admin rights to install them though. Most likely. But if you can install them, install them at your own risk. If you lose your job as a result of going behind your IT departments back and installing something without their knowledge, don't blame us. :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
