Text to Multiline Text

[Browny_76]

Is there an option that you can convert multiple single line text into multiline text at the same time but still keep them seperate and from merging into one multline text group?

This can be done by "convert text to mtext" from Express tools menu ( Haven't used 2010)

Try this... will only work if the Express tools are installed

(defun c:test () 
 (vl-load-com)
 (setq ss1 (ssget '((0 . "TEXT")))
       idx -1)
 (repeat (sslength ss1)
   (setq ename (ssname ss1 (setq idx (1+ idx))))
   (vl-cmdf "_txt2mtxt" ename "")
   )
 )

alias is txt2mtxt or the command is in the express tools/text. It will always group them together. You have to repeat the command. Thats why I love the right click options. Options/user preferences/right click customizations.

   (vl-cmdf "_txt2mtxt" ename "")
   )
 )

 

Do i just type this straight into the command space?? And then do i retry txt2mtxt??

cut and paste the following code into Notepad. Save it as T2M.lsp in acad's Support folder.

Then enter (load "t2m") at the command line.

To invoke the command enter T2M at the command line
