aligning text independently

Hi,

 

I'm working with a CAD floorplan that shows room numbers and I need to show the square footage of each room below.  I'm using MTEXT to show each room number and square footage, each on their own respective layers.  I was wondering if there is an easy way to align the square footage under the room number with uniform spacing.  I tried using the TEXTALIGN command, but that just lines up each MTEXT along a single line, and evenly distributes them.  Since the rooms vary with the positions, I need to have each square footage MTEXT align underneath a respective room number.

 

Thanks.

Hi stcampi4 and Welcome to the Forums!

 

I suggest a better way to accommodate this would be to use Attributes in a block to create your room labels and area tags. Each attribute can still be on a unique layer.

 

I have attached a sample block so you can try it out.

 

The nice feature about having it in a block is the text is always aligned properly and you can also data extract the information into a table or schedule if you need to.

Going with blocks is the ideal situation as John pointed out.

 

If you can't do this you could use a LISP that set the MTEXT to some type of CENTER justification and then matched the position based on rotation/location.

 

But a block would be so much easier...
