Can paragraph settings (MTEXT: Tabs, Indents, Spacing, etc) be transferred from one drawing to another?
Thanks.

I think yes if you copy that text. Might change if the text style is setup differently

You made a good point, thanks for your reply.

However, if I already have an MText of three columned General Notes, but would like to match it to an MText in another drawing. Don't think I can import from another drawing and Match Properties. Wish an MText settings can be named.

Maybe I miss understand your question but you can indeed create text styles for mtext. 

Possibly just give it a try to make it and paste match. But if I should guess this wont work. 

Their might be away to write a lisp file to assist also not sure about it.

@omorah ,

 

You can copy objects and style information from one drawing to another in DesignCenter.

A simple copy / paste from the Menu Bar > Edit > pulldown may also provide what you need.

Am I correct that what you are talking about matching [or naming] is the three-columned format, presumably with column widths and gutter widths and so on?  If so, I don't know of a way, but in any case the replies about Text Styles are not relevant.

 

But you could Copy/Paste the formatted one into the drawing with the unformatted one, delete all the text content from the one you brought in, and Copy/Paste the text content out of the unformatted one into the emptied formatted one, then get rid of the old unformatted one.
