td88 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Making a title block, I brought in a .doc of a disclaimer text I wanted to put in the tblock. It refused to rotate, when placing. Any suggestions? I lost resolution, when I tried to change to a jpeg. thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 You can't rotate OLE objects. Why don't you just type out the text? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuccaro Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Save the doc as RTF and import the file in AutoCAD Mtext -it will preserve the formatting. Once in AutoCAd you can manipulate the Mtext at your heart's desire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teeds Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Save the doc as RTF and import the file in AutoCAD Mtext -it will preserve the formatting. Once in AutoCAd you can manipulate the Mtext at your heart's desire. Good idea I just open both programs and use cut-n-paste or CTRL C and CTRL V for those of us that still use keyboard commands. Quick and simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Organic Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Why not just copy the text and paste into a new mtext in AutoCAD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuccaro Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Teeds just did so. Only this way the formatting is lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saved as .rtf and mtext/file name/open and got nothing in, either, the text box or in the drawing. What am I missing? Thanks, td88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuccaro Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Because you use an old AutoCAD (as myself) I will send you to an old post. Here you are:http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?t=75 Right-click in the Mtext editor and choose IMPORT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here you are:http://www.cadtutor.net/forum/showthread.php?t=75Right-click in the Mtext editor and choose IMPORT Thank you, fuccaro. I'm doing as you suggest but, getting no result. I've changed the .doc to an .rtf, started mtext, rt. clicked in the text editor and chose Import Text, get a dialog box, choose the .rtf file, click Open and nothing appears. I, also, thought you might have meant right click after doing above and choose Import but, still no result. The original .doc is slightly unusual in that it has a linear frame around the text but, the text is still editable. What am I missing? td88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuccaro Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Sorry to read it does not work for you. I still use that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lpseifert Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Maybe it's an LT thing... Try this From Word, highlight the text you want; Hit Ctrl+C In Acad, start Mtext, make your box, at the blinking cursor hit Ctrl+V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
