Text Tool Scale vs Mtext Scale

[tomdillenbeck]

The Text Tool on the Document > Annotation palette uses a tool called _AECDTLANNOLEADERADD to create MText at the current scale set in the Drawing Window Status Bar.

However, my coworkers and I like to type "MT" to create our mtext. Unfortunately it does not read the scale from the DIMSCALE or wherever the AECDTLANNOLEADERADD gets the scale.

Has anyone found a work-around or a keyboard shortcut for implementing MText at the Dimscale?

Create a custom LISP routine using the defun name C:MT that reads the current annotation text height and drawing scale, sets the product of the two as the default text height and fires up the MTEXT command.

By the time you create a workaround, wouldn't it just be easier to use the tool pallette?

Unless you wrote it when ADT2004 was current and there was no text tool available.
