Tell your customer to stop doing useless symbols. It isn't 1992.

What would you use %%134 for?

I think it is some leftover from the last century when they needed to control subscript or whatever of SHX based text styles. Utterly useless when they got converted to TTF.

if you don't have a space bar, it would come in pretty handy. HA!

Sorry all,

I know about it, but I want to know a solution to fix the problem at this time.

Thanks.

[barthbradley]

did you read my post?

Sorry @barthbradley

But we received more than 100 drawings

We can't change manual them. Please help with better solution than. Do we have any apps convert or auto change all.

Thanks.

So sorry @Anonymous, I completely misread your issue. 100 drawings! Whew! I feel your pain. I don't think there's a lisp routine available for  that task. It's been awhile, but I can't imagine how you'd even write such a routine. Best of luck though. I'm anxious to see what solutions are offered. Hopefully, I'm surprised by a greater mind than mine.

Thanks @ToanDN

That's great.

HAIL THE CHIEF: @ToanDN! 

[barthbradley]

sorry, but I don't get it. how does this lisp routine solve your issue if you've got to manually figure and enter the correct text string? I thought the idea was to "translate" a symbol created via a unicode string? 

[ToanDN]

The lisp works quite nicely.  A couple of runs and it can strip all the %% codes from the text.  He could create a script to fix a batch of DWGs if he wish.
