    Question Select a Field in MText and have it highlight the object it is representing?

    when using a field to display an area of a hatch or closed polyline, is there a way to select or highlight the field
    in the mtext and have it display/highlight/zoom to the object it is representing?

    That's the one I use as well, here's the macro I use:
    Command Name: Field→Objects
    Description: Display links between Fields & Objects.
    Macro:
    Code:
    ^C^C^P(or C:FieldObjects (load "FieldObjectsV1-0.lsp"));FieldObjects
    Small image: RCDATA_16_INSERT_FIELD
    Large image: RCDATA_32_INSERT_FIELD

    I'm also a heavy user of Lee Mac's routines as well, I have over a dozen macros using his "Steal from Drawing" routine alone. It's my all time favorite download!
