Topic: Error when trying to edit dimensions?

[Robb]

I am trying to edit the dimension text but I get this error:

"Application ERROR: irfcld
Error: invalid AutoCAD command: <Entity name: 400d8090>"

Usually I get the default text editor but now it seems to open in wordpad.

Anyone know how I can get past this?

I tried using CH to change the properties of the dimension line but it wont let me return a new line.

Help!?!

Thanks!

Can you not change the text editor back to internal?
MTEXTED

What would I use to revert it back to default?

Right now it has the path to wordpad.exe

What do use in place of that?

Thanks, I beileve that is what it is. I may have changed it after reading a post a couple of weeks back.

Thanks M-Dub

Use MTEXTED to prefix your wordpad text editor with :lisped# as in:

:lisped#C:\Program Files\Windows NT\Accessories\wordpad.exe

If the mtext entity has less than 32 characters it will pop up in a dialog box editor just like single line text, more than 32 will pop to the editor.

Code: [Select]

(defun c:mxtxtg ()
(if (= (strcase (getvar "mtexted")) "INTERNAL")
  (setvar "mtexted" ":lisped#C:/WINNT/system32/notepad.exe")
  (setvar "mtexted" "INTERNAL")
)
)
