i was trying to help a friend combine 2 routines.
the first will convert selected text to mtext
the 2nd (i combined this into 2 for him already) will set the mtext with a width of zero and then textmask it.
problem is you have to ssget all the text, but when it's time to select text to set width and mask, the ssget setq isn't valid anymore because the newly created mtext exists in place of the old text.
that's why i was thinking you could just ssget the .....i just realized that i answered my own question.
how can the you even ssget the orig ssget if it is invalid.
oh well, nevermind.
still though, would it be possible to do what i'm asking though.
say you window a section in a drawing. you want it to then move all selected text to a specific layer, hatch to a specific layer, etc.
not really a big deal (i have no plans for something like this), now i'm just curious.
