convert field to text

[Anonymous]

Hi, 

I have a autocad 2010 file with a lot of field. I want to convert all of them to text in one time. I have tried some lisp command but it did not work. Could you help me, please? My autocad file is in attached file.

Hi,

if you can live with MTEXT objects instead of TEXT objects the the command _TXT2MTXT (from the express tools >>>details<<<) can do that, that kills out the field-definition and takes it's resulting value.

i can't do this one time for all the fields, i have 500 fields. By using this methode and if i choose sevel fields in the same time, the fields change their position.

You can use the FLD2TXT utility from CAD Studio freeware - www.cadstudio.cz/freeware

Hi,

you can either disable all fields by changing FIELDVAL system variable to 0, even you can change the appearance of Fields (gray background) by changing FIELDDISPLAY value.

The FLD2TXT is a great time saving utility !!  Thank you...........

I am not familiar with .vlx lisp applications but it would be great to be able to set the imported page setup "current"

[vladimir_michl]

Pardon? Which imported page setup? FLD2TXT just converts fields (of any type) to plain texts.

Sorry, I have my messages mixed up.

I downloaded FLD2TXT utility and that worked great.

Then I also downloaded the CopyPageSetups which also worked great !

And the CopyPageSetups prompted me to comment about the ability to set a PageSetup "current".

I realize that your utility can copy mulitiple page setups ant once into a folder with drawing files, and that would

complicate to set one of those as "current".

I generally just use one page setup.

FLD2TEXT can't be use on AutoCAD LT..

any other solution for LT?

I can't tell you all important things because it is object type -depending and so there is a lot to explain,

so i describe the most universal-way-with-most-less-problems.

1. In YOUR.DWG: Select JUST all Objects with fields, start command WBLOCK and change nothing in the dialog - except the filename and path if you like.

  Move the original objects by side as backup or delete them.

2. Open the new created file, save the file as DXF R12

3. Back in YOUR.DWG, use command INSERT to insert the new created file as block and explode the blockreference.

txt2mtxt - type se for [SEttings]: - uncheck 'Combine into a single mtext object', with selection set selected, all fields converted to text in mtext objects that remain in place.
