Mtext defaults
Mtext defaults
(OP)
I have a guy that I work with here who wants the default setting for his text to be center middle instead of top left. Is there a place to change this. We both use AutoCad LT 2000.
Thanks

RE: Mtext defaults
Try this:
^C^Cmtext;\justify;tc;
Everytime you ust this button, it would set the justification to top center for this piece of mtext.

It works for me. My orignal attempt had a space in it which I could see know that I know what the slash means. I especially found how to make a new icon helpfull.
Thanks,

One other thing, which you probably picked up on, is that the semicolon ; acts as an enter, as does a space.
Creating button's like this can be very helpful for repeated tasks. The best way to figure out what to put in is to go through each step at the command line. If you can figure out how to manually enter each bit, you can put it all together into a single button

I find it very helpful the information you gave to FacilitiesCAD.
But now my question is. What should I add to the command line commad placed on the macro, so that every time I place text, the with of that same text is 0.
I try everything but nothing works
RE: Mtext defaults
^C^Cmtext;\justify;mc;width;0;
as stated by CDH the ";" acts as an enter so the above just adds, "width" [enter] "0" [enter]
how many lines are shown on your command line?
i recommend showing at least 3 lines.
