Text Width

[Anonymous]

Request to provide option in AutoCAD file all text width factor change in one command.

Try some Searching -- I imagine there is something already available.  If you don't find something that does what you want, I have questions:

Is it your intention to change the width factor in all text Style definitions, or to impose a width factor override on all Text objects?

By "text" do you mean only Text objects specifically, or do you also want it done to Mtext, and/or Block Attributes, Dimension text content, Multileaders, etc.?

So do I have a question.

How would you like to change it? Like stretch some and narrow others? Or stretch all but with an increasing width factor? That could grow linearly or logarithmically or according to some other function. Plenty of options here. Or ever we could change it just for a split of second and get it back before the command ends. Just thinking out loud.

could you change the width factor with the command STYLE?  if you set that width factor there it should change it per design session within autocad.   where its using that style of course.   not sure if it changes it globally. you may have to change the width factor of the font within the style, one style at a time.

In my current AutoCAD ".dwg" File

We want to change all Single line & Multiline text width factor in a single command.

I want to set width factor of text is only “1.0”

Whatever be text style.

(defun wf ( / ss i)
(setq ss (ssget "X" '((0 . "TEXT"))) i -1)
(while (< (setq i (1+ i)) (sslength ss))
(vlax-put (vlax-ename->vla-object (ssname ss i)) 'ScaleFactor 1.0)
)
)
(defun c:wf nil (wf))

Hi, We don't know AutoLisp program in a CAD file how to change in a single command?

Save code into a file with extension .lsp inside trusted directory.  Then true drop down menus go to TOOLS -> load application  and chose startup suite, and load file. It will be loaded with every drawing. Chose command wf to put width factor to 1.

I don't understand why you need lisp or any code for this since it can be easily done to tools->quickselect
