Exploding text
(OP)
Does anyone know of a way to turn text into line segments? I need to hatch around the text, but don’t want to show a boundary box.

RE: Exploding text
However, I just checked out and in Bonus menu of Acad14 there is Text/Explode.
The bonus commands did not work at first, I reloaded,
(load "ac_bonus")
and then picked bonus/text/explode text
and it worked.
But then, I tried hatch and there was no frame box around text.
In Menu Hatch Options Advanced,
Style: Normal or ignore
Boundary: retain
Island detection: yes, no
give all possible combinations you might need, without having to explode text.
In the worst case, you can put rectangles around text before hatching and erase them afterwards.
Hope this helps.
Ah. The Bonus menu of Acad 14 is called express menu in acad2000

If you select the text object as one of the hatch
boundaries, the hatch will be created arround the text.

Check out this thread for some info:

Exploding text into its component line segments can use a HUGE amout of memory, (both RAM for the actual operation and hard disk space to save the completed drawing). When I explode text, I try to do it as one of the very last steps in the drawing process. Be sure to save your work in a back up file prior to doing the explode text function, as the explode text operation is NON-REVERSIBLE.
