Thank you! I did a quick google search and found this: https://cadabyss.wordpress.com/2010/01/04/stripmtext-v5-0/. The download on this site doesn't work. And then I found the reply by Devitg on this forum: https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/visual-lisp-autolisp-and-general/stripmtext-v5-0-lisp-routine/td-p/2673838 Then I could apply the code with: (defun c:striptest ( / ss) (setq ss (ssget "X" '((0 . "MTEXT")))) ;; Select all TEXT and MTEXT objects in the drawing (if ss (STRIPMTEXT ss "F") ) )

Microsoft like AutoCAD allows VBA to be enabled because so many old VBA users still can't let go but both recommend against it. In Excel this option is Enable VBA macros (not recommended, potentially dangerous code can run) and it only applies to VBA macros. True there are many that ignore these warning and enable VBA code anyway. As long as you work in a closed shop, stay offline and don't exchange files outside your office you're probably fine.

A couple of problems may occur is cc0501 only twice in the dwg ? If it is multiple times wrong text may join. Yes can get a bounding box of the 2 text and draw a pline between them, that is the easy part maybe. Before any code answer question one and supply a sample dwg with more than 1 pair of text.

It should not lose the connection, we never signed in after the install. It sounds like a non connection is happening, when you open ACAD it pings a server and checks you do not see it. I would go back to the dealer for help. It may involve also your IT department giving permission for Autodesk server to be pinged.

Maybe explain it in a better detail, with some images or even a dwg file. Because right now, it's too abstract.
