http://www.mediafire.com/download/9cq93iapkaw0w78/ALIGN_TEXT_%28ALT%29_AND_MATCH_TEXT_VALUE_%28%3D%29.LSP" rel="nofollow - Here is another download link of my lisp file
I've just upgrade it. To professionals, it is a little bit too messy. But it is very useful to me for years working with AutoCAD.
There are 2 commands: ALT(AlignText) and = (Match text value)
"ALT" would ask you to select text, or mtext, or attribute definition, or attribute reference, then pick on lines, or arcs, or polylines (within block or xref all ok)
The selected text would be align the same as the current dimension style. You can press TAB to flip to either side, or M or C to switch to move or copy text method.
"=" command would ask you to select any text source (dimension or attribute ok) then copy the text content to other text targets.
Hope everybody like and shared it :)

This video would give you a good preview:
