Converting multiple DText to one MText block

Converting multiple DText to one MText block

Converting multiple DText to one MText block

(OP)
I have a lot of drawings that have multiple lines of DText that are in a table format.  Because the ASCII text does not carry equal spacing for letters, I cannot line up the text from one line of DText to the one below it.  Is there a way I can copy multiple lines of DText at one time and paste into a single MText block?  I would just cut and paste but this involves hundreds of drawings with each drawing having 20 to 40 lines of DText in a table.

RE: Converting multiple DText to one MText block

Does "Txt2MTxt" on the command line help?

IFR,
Command does not work on my machine.  Is this an express tool?

Yes, probably an express tool.

Thank you IFR and Exxit.  That is just what I needed.
