AutoCAD 2010/2011/2012 DWG Format

[#1]

Is there a way - or 3rd party app or lisp- to change the width of multiple Mtext objects all at once?  I have several drawings where the width of all Mtext objects is 1.25, and I would like to change all of them to 1.

Ideas?  Is there some simple way to do this?

Thanks!

Tom

Select all the mtext objects, open the PROPERTIES palette (ctrl-1), change the width there.  You can select all of the mtext objects using the QSELECT in the properties palette or by using a filter.  Hope that helps! =)

Sorry.....I mean the character width, not the 'defined width' which is how wide the overall Mtext string is.  Is there a way to change the character width, other than going into the dialog box for each individual piece of Mtext?

Ahh... is it hard coded into the text?  If it is not, you can just change the width factor in the STYLE dialog box.

If it is... well...that sux.  I'm not sure how I would change it globally.  You might be able to find some lisp routines online that can do it.

If the width factor is defined in styles then change it there.  If it is overriden in Mtext editor then use the attached lisp.

Thank you Toan I'll try that!!

i tried your stripmtext lisp. nice lisp.

but i want to change text width  not whole word width per mtext.

now i have text width of 1.0 .

i want to convert within mtext as 0.8

please suggest

Use the STYLE command, and change the width factor there.  MTEXT will update to reflect the change (note that TEXT objects won't)

Worked perfectly!!!! Great Lisp.

Many Thanks!
