    Hi

    Please note I have *moved* this thread from the AutoCAD Customization forum to this one as I feel this particular Forum is a more appropriate place for such a topic.

    Thanks, Mike

    Thanks Mike, I was not sure where this should be posted.
    I did not state I problem very will. I received a DWG with OLE text in it. I need to explode it into "text" & rework it some. I did it once before, but have forgotten how I did it.

    Never mind, I found one way.
    Copy clip OLE
    Goto: Edit
    Goto: Special Paste
    In dialog box pick :
    (paste) & % PRODUCT Entities
    then OK

    Hi

    Good to hear you found a solution.

    Is the above not the same as the solution offered in above post?

    Have a good one, Mike

    Not if your dialog says % PRODUCT Entities instead of AutoCAD Entities
