text framed

[raf]

Does anyone know if autocad can automatically generate the pane to a text? do it every time by hand is frustrating as well as obsolete. . .

I looked at the manual but found nothing.. .

 

[GP.]

You can use tcircle (express tools).

 

[raf]

I'm an unknown command... :

 

[GP.]

have you uploaded the express tools?

 

[lattu]

find them on the installation DVD

 

[raf]

I didn't even know about these tools. .

Go find the dvd now...

Thank you.

 

[GP.]

compared to tcircle is limited, but if you agree. . .

(defun c:conttxt ()
(if (setq text(entsel "select the text: ")(progn)
(Sectq textget(entget))
(setq boxtesto(textbox textget))
(setq ptesto(cdr(assoc 10 textget))))
(setq atesto(cdr(assoc 50 textget))))
(setq dx(- (car(cadr boxtesto))) (car(carboxtesto)))))
(setq dy(- (cadr(cadr boxtesto)))))
(command "_pline" ptesto
(setq p2(polar ptesto atesto dx)
(setq p3(polar p2 (+ head (* pi 0.5) dy))))
(setq p4(polar p3 (+ atesto pi) dx)))

a fast ( Enough) method can be this.
make a sizing style without dim line and without ext line.
light tolerances in "basic" method.
forzi in text override what you want to write to us.

Another method is to use, if you're okay instead of a rectangle on board.
a color box in bacground is to use the "background mask" in the options
of mtext.

Bye.

at "background mask" I had already thought about it and, on the design I also good, in the press though it is a disaster.. .

you must start the installation and you will find the option to install the express.

or if you have already installed, select "add/remove features" and you will release the box related to the express tools
