Out-of-date Express Tools

Anonymous

A coworker just excitedly showed me that the TXT2MTXT Express Tools command now allows for converting multiple text objects WITHOUT combining them.

 

I mirrored his excitement and went back to my own workstation to give it a try.  Unfortunately, my prompts AND dialog look differently than his.

 

When I execute TXT2MTXT my command line reads....

 

Select text objects, or [Options]<Options>:

 

When he runs his it reads....

 

Select objects or [SEttings]:

 

When I choose Options I get...

When he chooses Settings he gets...

So, when was the Combine into a single mtext object option added, and why don't I have it?

 

I have run an update on Express Tools from my Control Panel but to no avail.  I have also checked for updates on the Desktop App and seem to be up-to-date.

You need the AutoCAD 2017.1 update, AFAIK available to current subscription (rental) customers, and perpetual license holders on maintenance.
