Open a notepad document, copy/paste this code, save as print_text_height.lsp (feel free to rename, but keep the .lsp, and make sure ther's no .txt at the end of that).

Drag the .lsp file in your Autocad active document

Type command GTH, press enter

 


(defun c:gth ( / th)
  (setq th (cdr (assoc 40 (entget (car (entsel "\nSelect TEXT object: "))))))
  (princ "\nText height: ")
  (princ th)
  (princ)
)

Another same thing using v lisp

 


(setq obj (vlax-ename->vla-object (car (entsel "pick text object"))))
(setq ht (vla-get-height obj))

(alert (strcat "height is  " (rtos ht 2 1)))

If you want the actual height of the text in the drawing use the TEXTBOX function. A string with the same height like "1234" will not be the same physical height as "{1234,".

 

Try it :)

(if (setq e (car (entsel "\nPick text: ")))
  (print (abs (apply '- (mapcar 'cadr (textbox (entget e))))))
)
