Old CHTEXT.lsp Routine F1

Hello All,

I have continued to use the old CHTEXT.lsp routine because I like it's command line functionality. However, when I use it to change justifications of text it does not work sometimes. For instance:
Piece of text with a Middle Center justification.
Command: chtext
Select Objects: (selected the text)
Select Objects:
1 text entities found
Height/Justification/Location/Rotation/Style/Text/Undo/Width: J
Justification point(s) - Aligned/Center/Fit/Left/Middle/Right/<?>:MR
Alignment options:
TLeft TCenter TRight
MLeft MCenter MRight
BLeft BCenter BRight
Left Center Right
Aligned Middle Fit

Press any key to return to your drawing.

MR is one of the options, but it errors out, yet I can change the text justification to MR within the "properties" command.

Any ideas as to why it won't change via the old CHTEXT.lsp ?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Whats with the other options? are they working? Maybe you must type "mright" instead of "mr"?

If this doesnt help you should post the code - I cant find a copy of chtext.lsp on my cd's

Ok, I have found a version; it is a german version and it works very well
