Here is an AutoCad Tips to File Routine that will give an explanation about text to file routine. On occation it would be nice if you could pick a number of DTEXT entities and copy that information to a seperate text file for other uses. A user would have to open a text editor such as Notepad, then issue the DDedit command on each seperate line of Dtext and paste the text into their new document. AutoCAD offers a utility that will allow the user to pick any Dtext object, in any order, and paste it directly into Notepad.
- Enter T2F on the command line.
- Select the DTEXT entities that you would like to copy, in the order that you want them to appear in the Notepad file.
- At the ASCII export dialogue, give the new file a name and a destination and pick Save.
- You will now have an opportunity to open the new file in Notepad or not.
This really helps if the general notes were typed in DTEXT entities.
I hope you can enjoy this AutoCad Tips to File Routine above..
