I'm new to autocad and scripting in general but want to automate the SMT command from within a script file.
If you run the command smt in the command line it asks for "select objects..." at this point you can type All and hit enter.
Eventually you get a dialog box for StripMText with types of formatting to remove. I have written a .scr (script) file like so:
smt
All
But don't know how to change it to add what formats to remove for instance if I wanted to check the "Width" or "Tabs".
Can anyone explain or point me in the right direction to automate this?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Well I understand that but read the documentation from that programmer here:

It states the following midway through, which tells me this IS in fact possible:
Example 2: ;;;; ;;;; Prompt the user to select objects and remove only color, font, & ;;;; height formatting. There will not be a dialog or any other prompt ;;;; for choosing formats. ;;;; ;;;; (if (setq ss (ssget)) (StripMtext ss "CFH")) ;;;; - OR - ;;;; (if (setq ss (ssget)) (StripMtext ss '("C" "F" "H")))
