AutoCAD LT - Proxy entity to Mtext

[RonTUKPC]

Is there a tool that converts text features stored as proxy entities to mtext entities?  

I'm aware that I can explode the Proxy Entity to convert it to an MTEXT feature, yet, this is not the output I want, because it takes a text feature for a dimension 32.35' and separates them into individual characters ("3", "2", ".", "3" "5")

I would rather go by way of preserving the string of the text (32.35'  > 32.35').  These are dimension features that were added that may have had a custom tool create a curvature effect to have the dimension feature align itself to the curve of the line it represents.  

Is there a tool that can convert the Proxy entity feature to an MTEXT feature without exploding it into separate characters?

Not in LT, maybe in full AutoCAD.

@RonTUKPC If that was created with ARCTEXT in full AutoCAD, you will need to be using LT2023 to access it/edit it within the same limitations present in full AutoCAD too.

If something else created it, the content/file creator may be able to use EXPORTTOAUTOCAD command to help you out: you'll have to test and confirm (if that's not how you've done it so far).
