Andrea,

Have you tested the performance of the text in a large drawing with many xrefs? I had originally put something similar to that into my version, but later noticed significant lag in big drawings.

Good to know...must be something with our in-house software (it's a bit on the bloated side)

In our office...we use several client and add'on programs..
some of these put many scrap on  drawings..
All user run my MEGAPURGE program when saving.
allowing user to reduce filesize and remove all un-needed scrap.
it contain all AutoCAD purge and Audit function and extra cleaning
all The options are saved in our network drive in a specific user configuration.
that allow us to change PC without doing anything.

Since MEGAPURE is instored in all offices, user saw 90% more effiencienty, and some times reduce file over 70%.
some of our department work with DWG file over 90MB AFTER MEGAPURGE it.

Dhatch 4.5

I have made some tests and play with MTEXT.
so i've decided to add MTEXT as a Dynamic Menu and allow user to play with.

You will see on this animated GIF the MTEXT entity changing Dynamicly
(Font and Text color when activate or not.) and following the
Grdraw line color changing from Red to blue when the option is activated
I've forced the ARIAL font to have a good text looking.

To select press SPACEBAR
To Activate the option press Enter
you can Switch Pattern by pressing TAB or Shift+TAB (reverse)

you can move your mouse to update Dynamicly the Hatch or...
press "V" at anytime to enter any Value for Angle, scale, rotation, Origin (as list), and even Pattern Name.

Dhatch create a List of all available Hatch Pattern on Acadiso.pat or acad.pat depending the
Measurement variable. All custom Hatch Pattern Found will be added to this list.

Hatch will be Associated if entity is selected.

By playing with MTEXT....This give me an Idea (just for test)..
Create Dynamic Menu with DropDown who can read XML files..(eg  *.cui)
But time is missing a bit here....and i'm not that familar to XML.
so if someone is interested...I'm curious to see.

any comment will be appreciated.
