    Using Rtext in a title block that is xreffed into paper space of sheet
    drawings A-1, A-2, etc. when i open the sheets, or even the xref , rtext is
    a box with an x thru it. i must retype rtext to activate the text. i have
    tried a dozen times to add rtext to my start-up suite, to no avail. any
    ideas how i can:
    1-get rtext to start with any drawing i open so that my xref with the date
    on it updates dynamically without my starting the command rtext manually.
    thanks
    cd
    Please use plain text.

    Put this in a lisp file that loads with each drawing.

    (cond
    ((not (findfile "rtext.arx")) (princ "\nRtext.arx not found."))
    ((not (member "rtext.arx" (arx)))
    (arxload "rtext.arx")
    )
    )
