text inside of a circle

Does anyone out there have a routine that centers selected text to the center of a circle.

 

Why not justify to center and use center of circle?

 

Just make your text justified to middle, then move it from the insertion point to the center point. If you want to make it faster, only turn on those two options of the running osnaps.

Here is a quick one.
;; Center Text to Circle
;; CT.lsp
(defun C:CT ( / ent cent ss txt )
(prompt "\nPick Circle:")
(setq ss (ssget))
(if ss
(progn
(setq ent (entget (ssname ss 0))); get Circle entity
(setq cent (cdr (assoc 10 ent))); get Center point
(prompt "\nPick a Single Line of Text")
(setq ss nil)
(setq ss (ssget))
(if ss
(progn
(setq ent (entget (ssname ss 0))); get the Text Entity
(setq txt (cdr (assoc 1 ent))); get the Value of the Text
(if txt
(progn
(command "_erase" ss ""); remove old text
(command "_text" "m" cent "" "" txt); insert new text
); progn
); if
); progn
); if
); progn
); if
(princ)
); function

 

I tend toward the simple approach, middle justify the text and snap to
center of circle.

If this happens frequently, I'd make the circle and text an attributed
block. Place the block and edit the attribute.

 

Sorry Bob,
I guess I don't know how to use this routine.
I tried to select the circle and the text, and then the text string again and the text disappeared.

 

Try it.
Move text polygon...
Justify text to Middle Center and move to centroid of polygon.
(circle, rectangle).

To set text height and don´t modify your text style:

(command "STYLE" "STANDARD" "" "0" "1" "0" "N" "N")

 

Just pick the Circle (only), hit Enter Key, then, pick the text
when prompted.

Felipe,

I wrote something about centering a letter/s in a circle. Like change letter balloons. This file was in CADalyst.

Look in autodesk.autocad.customer-files. centerit.lsp Hope it works the way you want. It changes the justification to center, and
then moves it to the center of the circle. One click.

Tom,

Your way is, I believe, The Proper Way.

But where I work, just get it done.

Kirk, he didn't explain the application, but I was thinking of something
like a column grid bubble. Just takes a sec to define an attributed block,
then forever after it's faster to place than drawing individual circles and
placing text inside. If it's anything like that, I'd prefer to have the
thing as a single entity anyway, rather than two.
