The full object selection options are available in the TXT2XLS utility - a separate, slightly different tool than the Text2XLS command in the Click2XLS utility.]]> Tue, 11 Nov 2025 22:44:04 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=14742&PID=40190&title=cant-fence-select-with-text2xls#40190 <![CDATA[Can't fence select with TEXT2XLS : Hello everyone,I&#039;m trying...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=14742&PID=40189&title=cant-fence-select-with-text2xls#40189 Author: PVEngineer

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to export a large number of MTEXT object in CAD to excel using TEXT2XLS. I looked at the tutorial video on how to use it, and in the video it shows using "_fence" entered into the command prompt after starting the TEXT2XLS command to get a fence selection. I've tried doing this myself but no matter what I try I just can't seem to get a fence selection. I'm able to click on individual MTEXT objects and they'll export to the Excel file as I would expect, so the applet is functioning. 

Help on this would be greatly appreciated.
