Hello Everybody !

Thank you for answering...but how works this routine ?

[JohnK]

Load the lisp file with APPLOAD.
Type (on the command line): (txtfind "OLDtext" "NEWtext")

Not working too (AutoCAD 2023)

Would you be a little more specific. That code would work in R14 as well as it would in AutoCAD for Mac. How is it (or other functions) not working?

...the routine did not replace any text ! I try in a new empty DWG and working just fine !

I had this problem. I opened the file in my IDE, VS code and it formatted it.

Try downloading the file again from his site.

I have the same problem as @Evangelos. When I had AutoCad 2017 versions the lisp worked great. After updating AutoCad to 2023 the lisp does not work properly. It is only possible to replace single letters and characters for example: 2 can replace to 55, J can replace to Jacob. It is not possible to replace a longer string of characters than 1. Has anyone managed to solve this problem ? Maybe AutoDesk uses additional security to use paid versions.
