How to export AutoCAD drawing texts to a text file?

You can copy the texts individually using copy/paste.

To export text from your drawings, you can also use the text translation utility CADstudio TRANS.

An alternative is the Txt2Xls utility (see Download) which exports texts to Excel.

Since AutoCAD version 2008 you can also use the DATAEXTRACTION command and select extraction of text objects (DText, MText) and their properties Value and Contents - to a TXT, CSV, or XLS file (and then e.g. to Word - DOC).
