    Question Remove Font formatting in MText

    Does anyone out there know a global way to change a font back to it's original style withing mtext?

    For example, if you have a block of mtext and someone has changed the font within the mtext dialog, is there some variable or properties to change it back?

    Occasionally I run into a situation where I bring in some notes or something and the text is supposed to match what I have in my drawing, the text style is correct but the font has been changed within the mtext by an evil autocad user!!

    Anyone?

    Thanks,
    Ted

    Ted, Please note I have *moved* this thread from the New Forum Users Forum to this one as I believe it would be better served here.

    Below snippet is from the small print on the Forum General page -

    Search the forums for stripmtext, it sounds like it is exactly what you need.

    I checked it out, thanks!

    It was exactly what I needed!
    FYI: It works in AutoCAD 2005 too! (adt 2006)

    Worked great, has a nice little dialog box with it.

    FWIW, the evil Autocad user seems to have been exorcised. This problem seems to have finally been fixed in 2006.
