actually picking one by one text taking time and i need to join many text separately u can check my file

There is also the AutoCAD command txt2mtxt (was an express tool) though of course, Lee Mac has added a little extra.

txt2mtxt will allow you to select text via a window, works nicely if the text is stacked like your example with a window but if it is offset left or right the results might not be what you expected

It would be possible to make something up selecting al the 2 line texts and joining them - something like join all the texts where the x coordinates are similar, and you could do a shortcut so you don't need to type txt2mtxt every time (example via LISP (defun ttm ( / ) (command "txt2mtxt")) but you can just make a shortcut up anyway)

TXT2MTXT has some quirks that I only recently found out about. If you run it without selecting anything, you can access the settings dialog, where you can specify how it runs. There you can specify what order to use when assembling your new mtext. One regrettable feature is that it always changes the justification to top, regardless of the original text.

So you can select your text in the order you want it to appear in the mtext. You can even create a single mtext for each text.

thanks very closed what i want but just one thing actually i want to join Cable length and pole to pole length in on text and this code join both separately, can you modify

Ahh, I think I understand:

Each text selected is on a new line:

Cable Length

Pole to Pole

and not

cable length pole to pole

Pulled apart my textjoin lisp for the below. It might refer to other functions, let me know if it does. It is a bit long winded perhaps but it's parent does other stuff such as attributes and dimensions.

if you want to spend the time it could do with the text selection being checked or an ssget, single selection with a filter for text, mtext.

This will retain the type of text of the first line selected, in your example drawing it is mtexts and so creating mtexts afterwards.

exactly like this but not picking one by one want to join all by selecting them without moving their position, like Mr. hosneyalaa's lisp

actually i used this and only negative point for me is the lisp is that join text one by one and in my dwg i have too many text like that and joining them one by one is taking very long time,
