    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/member_profile.asp?PF=476408">Sandervp</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 10381<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 13.Jun.2014 at 09:26<br /><br />Does anybody knows a macro or a lisp which will first select all the mtext objects in a drawing. Second; create a background mask (background color) for all those selected mtext objects. Third;&nbsp;puts the "defined width" to 0 or just as long as the text?&nbsp;<div>And finally; send all these mtext object above all other objects with draworder.</div><div><br></div><div>The reason why;</div><div><br></div><div>I do have a drawing with a lot of mtext objects in different layers. Some do have a background mask and other doesn't have. Some mtext object with a background mask do have a large defined width meanwhile the text is short. Because of that a part of the drawing is not visible (see picture).</div><div>If I use the quick select command, I do can select all the mtext objects. After that I can use the draworder command and I can change the background mask settings of all those objects. But I can not change the defined width value. It isn't visible at the properties palette. Do I select only one object it does but all it doesn't...</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Example:</div><div><img src="uploads/476408/problem_mtext.jpg" height="250" width="400" border="0" /><br></div><div>(the rectangles are the background masks from the 3 mtext objects)</div><div><br></div><div>Does anybody knows a solution for this problem?</div><div><br></div><div>(Please excuse me for my bad English writing)</div><div><br></div><div>Look-a-like topic:</div><div>http://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=5847</div>]]>
