Change the properties of text and Mtext

[gmmdinesh]

Hi All,

I need Help again,

My drawing file have lots of text and Mtext with different properties, all Text and mtext are in different color, different angle and different text height.

I need to the script for select red color text and mtext file and change to BOLD, then select all text and mtext change the rotation angle to "0" degree and change the text height as 2mm.

Is it possible to do through lisp.

 

Please anyone help me.

 

Thanks in Advance.

This has been discussed before how to find mtext patterns in a string and change them. Look at my other post today re mtext remove. I posted a solution here and so did Lee-mac but its like 12 months ago. I will try to find.

 

The rotation is a property of mtext use (vla-put-rotation strent 0.0)

 

look at this as a start just copy and paste each line to command line, you can see the properties of the mtext.

; pick mtext
(setq strent (vlax-ename->vla-object (car (entsel))))
(alert (vla-get-textstring strent)))

 

Found this not the exact one I wanted but, http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?90577-HELP-LISP-to-change-color-of-text-base-on-certain-words-including-within-nested-block&highlight=Mtext

Again look at the other post it has all the clues just look for "c1" and \\p

 

this is what 3 line of mtext looks like with the second line all red

line1

line2

line3

TextString = "{\\fArial|b0|i0|c0|p34;line1\\P\\C1;line2\\C256;\\Pline3}"

 

The same with second line now bold

line1

line2

line3

TextString = "{\\fArial|b0|i0|c0|p34;line1\\P\\fArial|b1|i0|c0|p34;line2\\fArial|b0|i0|c0|p34;\\Pline3}"

 

Its a case of looking for the string combo the b0 means non bold the b1 means start bold followed by a b0 to end. The c0 is color by layer c1 is color red
