Convert Field to Text

Anonymous — Sat, 18 Jun 2016 10:46:50 GMT

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 wwwangeiei,

try the little lisp attached here, should work as expected.

It can remove fields from text or mtext on all text entities in a multiple selection.

I found it in the net some time ago, its author is Joe Burke.

You must rename the extension of the file to .lsp.

Hope this helps,

Giancarlo

Any chance of one that will work on attribute in blocks?

Hi Cody,

have you tried the "burst" command? It is available in the "Express" menu.

It will explode the block, maintaining the value of the attributes, fields included.

Hope this helps,
