  • Hi,

    its a long process i have many files can't do this for eaxh and every file

    I am not sure whether this comment relates to option to use PDF and Descartes or an idea to redraw texts manually. To use "quote" functionality is recommended.

    it will be long process if i make pdf and attach it to reference its like detecting as OCR

    Why it should be long process? PDF can be created automatically using Print Organizer. To attach PDF as raster, when created properly (e.g. with printed border or some corner marks), takes about 15 seconds. I do not see anything time consuming here, especially when compared with complexity of potential export to another solutions.

    But i got work to remade it all ASAP

    Even though does not relate to CAD text, experience shared from my friend, working in data quality (DQ) industry, where to inspect, clean and transform data is core activity: Anything under thousands of records (depending context, it can be thousand, 10 000 or even 100 000), it's faster to do the work manually than to try to implement automated solution. And it's experience from EU in context of high hourly rates.

    To place text, especially when tools are ready (simple tasks like text style(s) created, icons created...), is always faster than to use OCR, check text, fix size or font, or even import data created somewhere else.

    Maybe, when we sum all time, spent writing answers in this discussions, it is enough to manually re-create all texts in your drawings ;-)

    With regards,
