Can't explode text in AutoCAD for Mac 2014

[wklemp]

Just stepped up from AutoCAD LT for Mac to AutoCAD for Mac 2014 and one of the very first things I wanted to do was to extrude text.  No go.  I've searched the community and find very helpful guidance for exploding text in order to then extrude the outlines, but this appears to work only in the Windows version of AutoCAD.  When I simply select some MText and attempt to use the Explode command in my Mac version, nothing happens.  Can anyone guide me on how to explode text in the Mac version for purposes of creating 3D text?  Thanks!

Thank you, maxim_k.  It's frustrating that I couldn't find this by searching the community.  I guess I need to be better at figuring out search terms.

I have AutoCAD 2016 LT for Mac.

I want to write something in MTEXT and then I used to use (on PC and older version of AC) txtexp.  And it would convert all the simple text to just lines.  I cannot figure this out.  I don't have the txtexp command for the wmfout/in command.

Hi,

Explode Text and wmfout/in commands are not available in AutoCAD for Mac.

How do I get it?

No way, you cannot get this command- it is not a feature of AutoCAD for Mac. AutoCAD for Windows can do this. If you need application for Mac, than there is such command in CorelCAD and in Bricscad for Mac.
