Autodesk produced a change text lisp a long time ago. It does a lot of tricky things with text.....

chtext.zip

You can also select your text, and use the properties window to change aspects of it.

THANKS ALLEN YOUR MY NEW FRIEND IF YOU WANT TO TALK CODE ILL BE HERE.

Cheers, mate. :lol:

You Know Properties Actually Worked But I Juct Like Lisps So Much Even Though I Have Yet To Find One Useful

i still use the extended change properties (exchprop) (slightly modified to still function) from autocad 14 bonus tools to make quick text size/style, it has tons of options for changing color/linetype/layer, polyline width and a few other things. i don't use those options anymore since commandline layer is so much quicker for making those changes and pedit width is so much faster for changing pline width (plus it will auto. convert it to a pline if it isn't). i'm not much of a fan of the properties menu (i don't care for the static menu taking up constant space) i like it when the menu goes away when i'm finished. it's really good for quick changes to text height since if you have a height set in the style menu and use properties (mo, ch) it will change the height to the set height, exchprop will not.

chtext.lsp can be especially useful, i even saw a version floating around that someone had modded to work with mtext.

That's pretty cool. Why doesn't it have Obliquing as an option? That's what I need to mass change too.

Because ChText was written back in like 93.

Man this is an old thread.
