Hello AUGI Members,

I am having difficulty changing the text style on certain drawings I receive from a consultant. It appears that simply selecting the text strings on the drawing and going to the Properties Window and changing the text style to one of our styles does not work. These text strings seem to have information imbedded with the text....!

Example:
{\fArial|b0|i0|c0|p34;\W0.85;SUMP PIT}

The only way I have found to change the text style is to open each text string in the Mtext editor and manually change it to the text style I require.

Is there a quicker way to accomplish this....?? There are many many text strings on these drawings and modifying the text in this manner is very time consuming.

Any assistance would be appreciated....!


Regards,
Vince

Search the net for STRIPMTEXT.LSP. It strips the embedded codes so the text will obey the Style settings.
