Bullet Points

Quick one here:

 

Can you use Roman numerals for bullet points? If so, how??

The only way I know of is to do your list in MSWord and copy and paste to the mtext editor.

Daveyboyd, From what I know of, you cant just create this from autoCAD unless you are just putting 'I' 'V' and 'X's... I dont know how many bullets you need. If you only need ten... then just type it out. If you need 100 or something crazy, what I would do is go into excel and use "=roman(1)" that formula will give you the roman numeral 1. same goes for any number that you put into the "()" area. Excel will handle up to 3999 I believe. So you make this column of roman numeral cells to use as Bullets. Then save the file. In autoCAD you would create a data link to that excel sheet. Then create a table using that data link, and from there you can do with it what you want. You have options, such as use the table, or explode the table, and your left with this long list of roman numerals. (if you want to combine them into one MTEXT, there is an express tool that is TXT2MTXT and you just select them all to put them in a big paragraph type thing)

 

I hope this was useful.

Thanks guys, I thought as much. I'll probably use excel to create them and copy them in. Cheers
