TEXT STYLE NOT UPDATING CORRECTLY THROUGH DRAWINGS

emilio.lopezBQBUN — Tue, 19 May 2020 02:13:54 GMT

I received a cad file with a text style that had a missing .shx files. I updated the text style with a new font and ran a REGEN, but only some of the drawings updated the text styles. In fact, there are instances when a set of MTEXT will updated one or two lines and the rest are at the default complex.shx. I also have BLOCK with MTEXT that don't updated and TABLES that only partially updated too. This has become externally time consuming and I'm hoping there is a LIST routine to fix the issue or if there is a reason the text styles are not updated through the drawing.

Hi @emilio.lopezBQBUN ,

Welcome to AutoCAD forum! I understand some of your texts are not updating in your drawing file. Have you had a chance to check this article: MText formatting overrides changes applied to a text style in AutoCAD?

Hope this helps!

This LISP is not an fix and it hardly ever works correctly. I would still have to manually open and reassign every single MTEXT, TABLE, DIM and every single BLOCK with MTEXT with the correct TEXT STYLE. I don't even have to use this LISP to accomplish that.

Hi,

Can you please share the file, so that we can test it from our end?

Here is a bit of a stripped down version with pages that show the issues. I've already updated the TEXT STYLE with a new font replacing the missing .shx file.

Hi,

Stripmtext is working well on the drawing which you had attached.

See screencast.

I see the issue now, STRIPMTEXT LISP is not working with Autocad 2021. Ran it with 2016 and now things are working.

I did have a doubt about the version you were running it in. Glad that your problem is solved now😄

@emilio.lopezBQBUN

the v5.0c Version (like vinodkl used it in the screencast) works also in 2021.

If StripMText does not work in 2021, you probably need to change the variable LISPSYS to <0> (Note: AutoCAD must be restarted after the change). I've had the same problem.
