Title: Add Dtext with Script
Post by: M-dub on February 20, 2007, 02:08:49 PM: What's wrong with me?

How do you add a line of dtext using a script? It just stops when it comes time to enter the text, waiting for the user to enter it. I want the script to put it in. I know I've done this before, but it's been YEARS!

Code: [Select]
DTEXT J ML 7.4688,2.3643 0.15 0 D-SK-09071-12

Quote
-TEXT
J
ML
0,0
0.15
0
D-SK-09071-12

and it worked. I think the problem might be Autocads new "ON Screen editor" that can't take input from scr file. By changing to Text command, it worked. I also changed to 0,0 to make sure it came in at right coordinates.

As soon as I saw -Text, the lightbulb went on! :-D

Duh! Thank-you! :laugh:
