Just a dumb text bracket code.

[The Buzzard]

Hello Everyone,

 

I am not sure this is of any use to you all, But I wanted to keep this thread simple. The attached code creates text brackets as pictured in the image. I have two codes posted, One for imperial units TBI and one for metric units TBM. There is an area at the beginning of the code for you to adjust your layer and font style. This code also has an error trap so that you do not create the bracket too small to avoid a deformed bracket drawn. There is minimum input required to operate it. You can enter the text you wish.

 

Enjoy the code.

So I guess you noticed there are instructions in the code header. Not that they are really needed. Thought I would mention it anyway.

I figured it out. Works great!

Thats good news. The program is well documented if you need to make adjustments. If there are any issues or any changes needed please let me know.
