Of course the attribute would have to be an MTextAttribute and AFAIK adding this formatting to the attribute definition has no effect.

For an mtext attribute reference this works:
Code - Auto/Visual Lisp: [Select]
  1. (setq obj (vlax-ename->vla-object (car (nentsel))))

Thanks Roy but problem is how to add Mtext Attribute ?
When i Do Right Click on Block ->Block Editor, it goes into the editor.
Then in the Menu above, there is an option of "Attribute Definition" which when i click, it always puts DTEXT and not MTEXT. And when I run TXT2MTXT Express Tool Command on it, it no longer remains an attribute and changes to Mtext.
