Strip Mtext
This program creates a user command that will quickly remove
formatting applied to individual characters and words inside
Mtext objects.
StripMtext can remove the following types of formatting:
Alignment
Color
Font
Height
Underscore
Overscore
Linefeed (Paragraph Return)
Obliquing
Stacking
Tracking
Width
Non-breaking Space
StripMtext does not modify Mtext properties such as style,
justification, width, and rotation. Nor does it manipulate
inherited properties such as layer, entity color, etc.
Note:
Removing Mtext formatting is a very complex procedure. This program
has been designed to safely remove formatting but no guarantee
exist. Until you become familiar with StripMtext, please save your
drawing before using. If you do not like the results, you can
immediatly issue an Undo command to restore your Mtext to its prior
condition. You are encouraged to spend a few minutes experimenting
with different format removal settings on sample drawings before
using this program on your real drawings.
How to use:
(1) When you start StripMtext, you will be asked to select Mtext and
Dimension objects.
(2) After you have completed selecting, a dialog box will appear
that contains several check boxes labeled with formatting names.
Check mark each type of formatting you want removed.
(3) If you would like StripMtext to use your current check marked
formats as your default, check mark the "Remember Settings" box.
(4) Hit OK to process, or Cancel to abort.
