Topic: attribute text to dtext

[confusedCADguy]

Greetings all,

I have numerous drawings with a base plan xrefed into it. I have quite a few blocks with attributes that have been exploded. Yes that’s right, exploded. Now everyone knows you shouldn't explode blocks with attributes if they are being xrefed. So anyway, now that I’m done beating the a$$ of the person who did it I need to know if there is a way to convert the exploded attributes to dtext. I tried TXT2MTXT.lsp and for some reason the text disappears even though it says an mtext object was added.

Thanks

Has this been tested, CAB?

I just tried it out and it seems to be working fine. This is gonna save me a few hours!

I've used that routine before a number of times without any problems.
