    Default Predefined text strings

    Is there a way in AutoCad to customize autocad to use predefined text strings?

    I have to change some dtext in an engineering change box to read "UPDATE REV LEVEL".

    It would be nice if I had some predefined text strings that I could choose from.

    I have some LISP routines that create predefined text, or also, text I type in. These are useful in my line of work for labeling easements. Although these routines are for new text creation, with a little modification, you can use it to edit text, also.

    Those are some good routines, thanks for sharing.

    I have also thought about using dynamic blocks.
    I do not think my text is generic enough for a block.

    I could drop a list of predefined text into the drawing and use the
    matchtxt command.

    Too many options
