Delete Group Text

[Anonymous]

Can I use Find to delete a a bunch of text at once instead of just replacing text? What is best way to remove text that has been use many times in a drawing such as "provide".

If you want to replace a word with another or just a blank space, FIND is indeed the tool to use.

Also in the future, consider using a block as a container for this "bunch of text" that is all the same. Then you can simply update the block definition and everything will change at once.

Replace with a blank space, would that make a double space between 2 words?

[pendean]

I meant blank, no space needed unless you want to add one.

I try to replace a word with no blank space, it didn't do anything.

Maybe I need to upgrade.

I've been doing that this week in R2016 for some reason in a bunch of files from an outside source, so my experience is only there. I can't recall having to do it any differently with older versions but I can't swear to it, it's rare for me to delete one word in many text items in a file(s).

Just as Pendean suggested - use FIND.
Replace "provide " with " ".
Notice the blank spaces...
