cannot 'union' text after 'txtexp' and 'region' commands completed.

[Anonymous]

Hello please help, spent many hours and still cannot resolve.

I am attempting to convert text to solid.

I use txtexp first, then i use region command which all goes well.

When i then use the union command elements of the text disappear, on text letters with internal circles for example the letter 'D' or the letter 'R' ..... the internal circles disappear.

Another thing i noticed on these letters, when i use txt explode some parts of these letters need to be further exploded.... i think these issues could be linked in some way.

Any help much appreciated. I am using Autocad version 2017.

Thank you.

UNION on the outsides, on the outer regions and then SUBTRACT for the holes. But don't take the holes in your first union !

Usually I do it >>this way<<. 

Depending on what you want to get at the end 

- you can stop after the first union command -> you get ONE region including all text contours   1*)

or additional 

- you can explode this region -> you will get a region for each char   2*)

or additional  

- you can explode this regions -> you will get a bunch of lines 

or additional

- you can join this lines - you will get a closed polyline for each closed contour. 

1*) To get a solid you can extrude this one region into ONE 3DSolid. If you need a single 3DSolid for each char use additional the command solidedit -> Body <> seParate

2*) Extruding all this regions you will get a single 3DSolid for each char. (If necessary you can union these 3Dsolids into one single 3DSolid).
