Multi-line text objects were introduced way back in AutoCAD Release 13 (1994), and had some very basic features such as word wrapping and “By-Entity” formatting. If you take away just one trick from this article, I will have done my job.

In this article, I will share a series of tips and tricks for creating MText objects.

That’s why I am presenting as many helpful tricks as possible on a particular topic to make things easier for future reference. The only real problem when discovering new tricks is that you can actually go years before you come across a real gem that could have such a major impact on how you do things. When I discover those hidden gems, I instantly realize that when it comes to creating AutoCAD drawings, my life just became a little easier. I just wanted to make sure you knew that the option was there.Back May 14th, 2012 AutoCAD Tricks for MText: Beyond the BasicsĪs an AutoCAD® user for nearly 25 years, I still get a sense of excitement-and dare I say I become “giddy”-whenever I discover a new AutoCAD trick. Please note that the settings are not something that I need to enter, the command could end after create duplicate. Regular command (Condition: Select object after issuing command)Ĭurrent tag number 109 is being used, press return to skip to next available or : C Select label to renumber tag or :Ĭurrent tag number 108 is being used, press return to skip to next available or : c Lisp: %$ (Condition: I DO NOT select a single object before issuing this command) Lisp: %$ (Condition: I select a single object before issuing this command)Ĭurrent tag number 107 is being used, press return to skip to next available or : C So I will give the the commandline output for both my lisp and for just running the command regularly. (However I am almost certian that this is because of the nature of the C3D command.Īttached is my current lisp, I have to have the object selected before running it otherwise it doesn't processes the command right.

Status: When I ran the code you attached, with my command subbed in it was only editting the very last object selected.

I will be sure to update this post if I come across one. Unfortunatly I have only used Civil3d for the past 5 years (my whole, short career) and do not know of an example of similar command (that only accepts one object as a selection set) would be in regular CAD. I did learn a lot from your demo code and will store it for later use. I have tried using previous selection sets, however when multiple items are selected and then the command is issued the program simple reprompts you to select a single item. This forces the user to go through each of the labels to get the desired numbering sequence. "_AeccEditTagNumbers" is a command that renumbers parcel tag numbers and the trouble I am having with it is that it will only allow you to select one item at a time.

Thank you! Your response was prompt thourough and helpful. (command "_.chprop" hnd "" "C" "30" "") change the command and prompt sequence The 'ssget' function, will honor the selection order if, user select by pick one at a time or using a fence, with other selection method will

I can't give you a saple code using that specific command, but I'll use an AutoCAD command, the "chprop" command, as a sample, you'll have to replace it with the correct prompt sequence for the "_AeccEditTagNumbers" command. I presume the command is active and waiting for the user select an object, or more than one? I'm not a C3D guy, therefore I don't use the "_AeccEditTagNumbers" command, and I don't the know the command prompt sequence. Hello Josiah and welcome to the Autodesk Community! (defun C:777 () (command "_AeccEditTagNumbers""C" )) I know that the autocad express command "tcount" (Automatic Text Numbering) does something very similar to what I want. Is there anyway to select a bunch of object and run the below command on each object? The selection order would be my preferred order in which the command was run but if it needs to be based on x or y coordinates that would work almost as well.
