how to change data field to normal text

How can I change data field to normal text in micro station v8i.

  • that is what I guessed - as Duncan and Jan have mentioned, there is not an easy way to do this.

    To do it individually, you can open the text editor dialog, rather than the word processor. In the text editor dialog the data field shows as having <<  >> on either side of the text. Removing these characters in the text editor will then make the text normal (no longer a data field). There is no "mass" changing function in the product.

    Another work around would be to save the file to DWG (as DWG does not support data fields). Doing this may change other data in the file, that is not desired, so I only recommend as a possible workaround (you may not get the results you want doing this).
