I have a client logo which is a block, that includes a specific text style.  When moving computers the text style changes to a default.  What I would like to do is just turn the text into some sort of object so that it has no text properties and will not change from computer to computer.  Any ideas??--ThanksEric

Then aren't you talking about an image file (.jpg or .png)?

No, unfortunately the logo was build in cad.  So it has mtext in the block of the logo.  Now when we use it between computers and new vs old software, it changes the text style.  I would just like the logo to all be one, non editable logo with no ability to edit the text or have it automatically change between computers.--ThanksEric

Trace the damn thing then turn it into a block.  Done.

You can use a DXB-Plotter for this.Perhaps you first have to configure this DXB-Plotter using the PLOTTERMANAGER-command.Plot the logo into a file, use the DXBIN-command to insert the created DXB-file in a new drawing and so all letters and drawing entities are converted into single lines.Hope this helps RegardsJochenwww.ant-ares.de

In your Printer/Plotter Name: list in the Plot dialog box, there should be some choices that will make a PDF or PNG or JPG.  Isolate the part of their logo Block that you want to do this with, "plot" it by itself to one of those kinds of files, and in BEDIT or REFEDIT, erase the original from the Block and use IMAGEATTACH to bring in the PDF/PNG/JPG version.

From the Autodesk Website The following method only works with text that uses SHX fonts. If your text objects use True Type fonts (TTF), you must first assign a comparable SHX font to the text objects you wish to explode. Then:Issue the command WMFOUT.Specify a file name and location for the WMF file and click Save.Select the text objects you wish to explode and press ENTER.Issue the command WMFIN.Choose the WMF file created in steps 1-3 and click Open.Specify an insertion point.Specify an insertion scale. Typically, a scale factor of 2 is required to get the object to be the same size as the original.Specify rotation (usually 0).The inserted object is a block, so EXPLODE it.The text is now reduced to polylines.Otherwise, use the trace optionRegards Nate

Hello Nate143, your method is too good to be true and it works so goooooooooooood !I do have to convert texts from AutoCAD to Solidworks or Pro Engineer and when I want to text be kept on theses softwares I "write" 3D text of my own, this will be too good, although I have already created from blank letters, capital letters, numbers and various other text in 3D solids.      

Only a pleasure
