Boundary on finding text.

[arqdia]

Hi, i don't know if this is the right place to ask this.

 

the thing is i want to make boundaries on areas with specific text. for example:

 

_ _

l1 l l2l ----- imagine those are rectangles(made of simple lines) with text fields inside them.

 

i want to tell autocad to make a boundary in all rectangles containing the number 1. after that i want boundaries on number 2, and so on.

 

is this even possible?

-----------------------------------

 

i have to do this for hundreds of shapes, so is a very time consuming task and i will do this for future projects as well. It will help a lot if there is a way to do this.

 

tnx fot your help.

This was posted by ReMark some time ago. Try it and see if it works for you.

well, that's a good approach. but i need the boundary made around the area where the texts is, not the area of the text itself.

I don't know. I'd just make a block and copy and paste it until I was done. I can't think of a solution sorry.

Could you possibly post an image of what you are looking for? - It is not clear for me.

Well this is what he means. The box is a bit hard to see but that's the general concept of what he wants.

I beg to differ - my initial understanding was that the OP is looking to generate a boundary surrounding specific a text string within a text/mtext object - hence my request for clarification.
