PTEXT

Quickly change multiple Text/Mtext/Attribute/Mleader/Dimension content by typing in command line or copy from a source.

INTRODUCTION

To quickly change the attribute value in a block, we can use command ATTIPEDIT. But there is no quick way to change the attriute content if it is part of a Mleader block.

PTEXT provides a shortcut to change the attribute value of a Mleader block by simply typing the new text in the command line, then pick up multiple attributes in Mleader blocks or any text content of Text/Mtext/Attribute/Dimension entities. It also works with such entities nested in a block.

Command: PTEXT
Enter new text:

Type in any text (allow spaces) at the prompt.

Press Enter without any input to pick up a source entity to get its text content.

Pick up source text to copy from:

You can pick up the text content within an source entity of a Text/Mtext/Attribute/Mleader/Dimension object. The souce object can be a block contains of any entity above.

Pick up text/attribute to change:

Pick up text content in multiple target entities to change them into previous text input.

NOTES

  1. When input in the command line, the original text format in target Mtext may lost.

  2. When input from the souce object, it will copy the text content with format of the source object to the target text object.
