Ajust Mtext width

C.Utzinger — Fri, 02 Nov 2018 06:27:35 GMT

I found a lot of routines to Change the Mtext width to 0, but I'm looking for one that just ajust the width like in the DWG example attached.

The Routine im using for the Moment:

(defun c:<test1 (/ ss acDoc i e)

  (if (setq ss (ssget "_:L" '((0 . "MTEXT"))))    
      (repeat (setq i (sslength ss))
        (setq e (entget (ssname ss (setq i (1- i))))
              e (append e '((75 . 0)))
              e (subst '(41 . 0.0) (assoc 41 e) e)
        )
        (entmod e)
      )
  )
)

Thanks for help

Hi,

Try something like this:

(defun c:test1 (/ w ss i e)
  (if
    (and (setq w (getdist "\nText width: "))
         (setq ss (ssget "_:L" '((0 . "MTEXT"))))
    )
     (repeat (setq i (sslength ss))
       (setq e (entget (ssname ss (setq i (1- i)))))
       (entmod (subst (cons 41 w) (assoc 41 e) e))
     )
  )
  (princ)
)

You can also use setpropertyvalue instead of entmod.

(defun c:test2 (/ w ss i e)
  (if
    (and (setq w (getdist "\nText width: "))
         (setq ss (ssget "_:L" '((0 . "MTEXT"))))
    )
     (repeat (setq i (sslength ss))
       (setq e (ssname ss (setq i (1- i))))
       (setpropertyvalue e "Width" w)
     )
  )
  (princ)
)

I just found what I was looking for.

Thank you anyway

It would be nice of you if you reveal the source and noted the author(s).

The origin source is probably HERE at theswamp.org

Nice find though.

Yes you're right.

I found it here:

Note: I cleaned it and eliminated some "progn"

Kind regards
