Does anyone know where I can get lsp routine to change mtext to dtext?
No LISP needed. Just EXPLODE it. BTW, there's no such thing as "dtext"; DTEXT is a command, and like the TEXT command, it produces TEXT objects. ___
Hanging on to old systems - dtext is dynamic, producing sequencial lines of text as opposed to the old text which gave only one line. Also, there is a mtxt2txt file (I believe that is the name of it).
Actually, they both work the same now. In previous versions (R14 and before, I believe) DTEXT would display the text in the drawing editor as you typed it (dynamically), while the TEXT command would not. Also DTEXT used to produce multiple lines of text, but TEXT would only produce one line of text. I just tested this in R14 and 2005. As Paul suggests, use EXPLODE to convert MTEXT to single line TEXT. There is an Express Tool called TXT2MTXT that will convert single line TEXT to MTEXT.
dtext is dynamic, producing sequencial lines of text as opposed to the old text which gave only one line.<< Pressing enter a second time while in the TEXT command would continue the text on subsequent lines. Either command produces a TEXT element, there is no DTEXT element. Use the EXPLODE command to reduce MTEXT to TEXT.
