    Default Global Text Height Change - With MText & DText

    Hello folks, I need some help with text. I have been on line searching but can't find it.

    Just curious, say I have a site with lots of text. I did a filter, moved all the text off to the side. Now, is there any LISP routine or function I can use to globally change all the selected text to a preferred text height?

    Please note, these texts have different properties (heights, oblique angles, rotations, colors, dtext, mtext, etc). So regardless of these different properties, is there a way to globally change just the height to a preferred height (without changing any other of its properties)?

    The issues are there are too many texts and I don't know which ones are DTEXT or MTEXT. The only way I know is to go through all the text one-by-one, which has been very tedious. I can't use the property box since when I select a group of texts, the property box would not show the height option if the selected texts are a mixture of MTEXT and DTEXT.

    Thanks in advance

    Thumbs up Re: Global Text Height Change - With MText & DText

    Hello folks, I found an option, however, it's a few steps process which is just fine with me. The only thing is I have to do it by either MText or DText, then do the other one later. The function I used is QSELECT, it works well and did not change other properties.

    Wonderful!

    Default Re: Global Text Height Change - With MText & DText

    In the Properties dialog, the top line will say "All (##)" with the total number of selected objects.

    If you hit the down arrow next to that line, you can narrow that selection to just the TEXT of MTEXT objects. And then globally edit the heights of each. Go back to the downarrow and select the next one to modify.
