jmerod Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 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. Quote
uddfl Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Not with AutoCAD's native tools. Search the internet for an VBA/lisp utiility called TXTMRG. It might solve your problem. Quote
chulse Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Could you use FILTER or QSELECT to isolate the text you want to nuke? Then purge the style...? Quote
lpseifert Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 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. Quote
jmerod Posted February 4, 2009 Author Posted February 4, 2009 HEY THANKS YOU ALL! that qselect worked. it was attributed text but still found and erased it all. Quote
