    I am trying to convert multiline text into to a solid, by exploding the
    text to polylines, union, then extrude. When I try to explode with the
    2004 Express tools txtexp command I get the follow error: "a bad
    argument type: fixnump: nil." I Also tried a XT.lsp, but when I try to
    explode the multiline text I get the following error: "oops... ERROR:
    bad argument type: lentityp nil." Any suggestions?

    HiHo;
    You might try Elefont. It is a free tool to create 3D text objects from TTF
    fonts
    (ELEvated-FONTSs). They are generated into DXF-files which you
    can import for example into BRYCE or AutoCad rendering software.
    You can see EleFont at this URL. There is also a link to a download site.

    You can set up a Data eXchange Binary (DXB) printer, then print (export)
    your file containing your ACAD Text objects to DXB format. Simply import
    the DXB file, region the text and extrude.
