How to set default properties for text?

[Anonymous]

Hi everyone,

Here's my question: I'd like to input all my text (multi text) with following properties:

Justify: central center

height: 6

rotation: 90

But the default properties are not defined like this so I have to change them every time I creat a text, or use copy properties.

How can I set the default properties as I like? 

Thanks!!

Welcome to the Autodesk Forums!

You can use this macro to create new menu item or a button on ToolSets palette:

^C^C^P(progn (initdia) (command "._MTEXT" (getpoint) "_J" "_MC" "_H" 6) (command pause) (command "._ROTATE" "_L" "" (getvar "lastpoint") 90) (princ))^P;

Select all text above (from ^C... to ;), copy it to clipboard, call CUI command, in Command tab click on + above command list (1), this will create new command "Command1", you can rename it on the right side(2). Then insert macro into Macro field.(3)

Then switch to Menu or ToolSets tab and drag new command to desired place. For ToolSets it is better to add some icon (4) in order you can recognize new command on toolSets palette.

Click OK and use new command.

Or you can use attached AutoLISP routine (you have to extract contents of ZIP file). After you load it with APPLOAD command you can use new RMT command at command prompt to start creation of rotated MTEXT.
