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.
 
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?
