what's the difference between the DTEXT and MTEXT command in AUTOCAD

what's the difference between the DTEXT and MTEXT command in AUTOCAD

what's the difference between the DTEXT and MTEXT command in AUTOCAD

(OP)
I read somewhere that "DTEXT allows you to add text to a drawing and see the text as it is being placed", I don't quite understand what "add text to a drawing" mean. As you can add text to a drawing use MTEXT command as well, then what's the difference?

If possible, please explain in detail :) any answer will be appreciated.

thanks all

You might get a more prompt response in an Autocad forum.

RE: what's the difference between the DTEXT and MTEXT command in AUTOCAD

I haven't used Autocad in a long time, but isn't MText used for multiline text and DText is only single line text?  Have you tried using Google or the Autocad help files?
