Enclose Text with Object

[smaher12]

Much like Tcircle in express tools, does anyone have anything that will place just ONE box/retangle around mutiple selected mtext instances.

I'm glad to see people are finding that useful.  Now I'm wondering whether to make it a little more like Tcircle and/or TextMask, with an option to draw the rectangle outboard of the actual extents if you want.  It wouldn't be difficult -- is that something you would use?

For what I need it for it for, it works great. I did add your following input for the offset. 

(setq rect (entlast))
(vla-offset (vlax-ename->vla-object (entlast)) 2.5)
(entdel rect)

Hello,
Yes it can be very interesting to see how to make a text inside rectangle.
Idea is really like "old" Tcircle Express toll command !
