Recommended Posts

hey anyone,

is it possible to erase a text style that is currently being used in a drawing? what im thinking of is comparable to deleting a layer using the laydel command. i want to get rid of some text but dont want to scour the dwg and erase each piece of text in order to delete the style. any ideas?

Thanks.

Not with AutoCAD's native tools.

 

Search the internet for an VBA/lisp utiility called TXTMRG. It might solve your problem.

Could you use FILTER or QSELECT to isolate the text you want to nuke?

Then purge the style...?

You could try to use Qselect to select all the text/mtext with the style and erase them, then hope purge will get rid of the style. It may not work if the style is being used in a dimension style, etc.

that qselect worked. it was attributed text but still found and erased it all. :D
