TEXT TO LINE

[pegasus]

Hi,

I want to explode the text and mtexts written in a certain layer and make a line. The txtexp command both has to make a selection and pulls it to the current layer. Is there any solution about this? Thank you from now.

Post a image or better yet a dwg.

You also might want to join the lines after the explostion. if your going use the new geometry somehow.

here is an mtext. With the autocad txtexp command, this text takes the properties of whatever layer exists at that moment. I also wrote the texts I want to line in a single layer and I want to select the text, text in that layer.

sorry, didn't work  

but there is TXTEXP command in Autocad. how does it not detect

 

Select objects:
_.Txtexp Unknown command "TXTEXP".  Press F1 for help.
Command: <Selection set: 639>

Changed out vl-cmdf to command that might help.

I get the same result with add vl-cmdf . what could be the reason

[mhupp]

You updated to?

(command "_.Txtexp" SS "")

EXPLODES TEXT AND MOVES TO OWN LAYER 

[BIGAL]

Best answer is download "Text 2 geom by Seant", he lingers here at times. He should advise you of correct download link. This will do True Type Fonts as well.

maybe when the text and mtexts are lines, I should be in that layer with the command and all the selected text,mtexts in the layer I specified should return to the line. But of course it throws an error. where did i go astray?

 

(defun c:fin ( / ss i e)
(setq (ssget 'CLayer (layerName "LAYER1")))
(and
(if (setq ss (ssget "_X" '((0 . "TEXT,MTEXT"))))
(and (wcmatch (vla-get-objectname mdl) "AcDbMText,AcDbText")
              (wcmatch (strcase (vla-get-layer mdl)) "LAYER1"))
         )
)         
    (repeat (setq i (sslength ss))
    (setq e (ssname ss (setq i (1- i))))
       (command-s "_.Zoom" "Object" e "")    
    (sssetfirst nil (ssadd e))(C:TXTEXP)
            )
           )

Honestly have no idea what you're trying to do but the quickest and easiest way to create a linetype with text is using ronjonp's "Make Linetype With Embedded Characters": https://www.theswamp.org/index.php?topic=47058.msg520876#msg520876

no actually it is not. I want text and mtexts written in a certain layer to make the selection txtexp. The lines formed should carry the properties of the previous layer, not the current one.

Try with this

(defun c:my_txtexp ( / ss n ent dxf_ent lay sel lastent next lastent e dxf_e)
  (setq ss (ssget ":L" '((0 . "*TEXT"))))
  (cond
    (ss
      (if (not c:txtexp) (load "txtexp"))
      (repeat (setq n (sslength ss))
        (ssadd)
        (setq
          ent (ssname ss (setq n (1- n)))
          dxf_ent (entget ent)
          lay (cdr (assoc 8 dxf_ent))
          sel (ssadd ent)
          lastent (entlast)
        )
        (sssetfirst nil sel)
        (c:txtexp)
        (if (and lastent (entget lastent))
          (progn
            (setq
              sel nil
              sel (ssadd)
            )
            (while
              (setq next (entnext lastent))
              (ssadd next sel)
              (setq lastent next)
              sel
            )
          )
        )
        (if sel
          (repeat (setq i (sslength sel))
            (setq
              e (ssname sel (setq i (1- i)))
              dxf_e (entget e)
              dxf_e (subst (cons 8 lay) (assoc 8 dxf_e) dxf_e)
              dxf_e (subst (cons 62 256) (assoc 62 dxf_e) dxf_e)
            )
            (entmod dxf_e)
          )
        )
      )
    )
  )
  (prin1)

really thank you for your help @Tsuky. Even in this state, it is very useful to select the text and mtexts in the layer I want with select similar and run this command.

It doesn't work with newer windows and newer Autocad so it was deleted. https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-forum/text-to-graphics-vector/m-p/9147387#M1000252
