Key-in for Text Justification Control

I saw a piece of an article, it referenced a text2 file, I could not find. I found the file plotdlg.ma what a really big help, once I worked through it. I was looking for a similar file on text key-in commands. I went to Ina, but the note claimed the list was no longer being kept up ?.

My problem many times when I open a drawing to edit the text will be left and I need center or right and I need left. I would like a way to just key-in what I want first and not go to paste the text and the justification is off. Any help from some of you really smart guys like Mr. Phil?

  • Thank you for the link, I got the program

  •  I was unable to make a Description, I found this and thought it might work somehow with VBA, or could someone give me a similar one to this in VBA?

    I used something like this in my dos day data bases, It was like a menu and gave you choices as what you wanted done.

    This would give some selection to a VBA macro command

  • when i type in this key-in, the command window already displays Node Just=LT... do you really need more than that for the message?

     

     

    on your other key-in question..

    you can set Text Height and Width to the same value with the key-in:

    TX=<value>

    if you want to set them separately...

    TH=<value> and TW=<value> for Height and Width respectively...

    and as you may guess...

    LS=<value> for Line Spacing

    Keyboard Shortcuts has a long list of other 2-letter key-ins...

  • While I have someone knowledgeable on Key-in commands, I made the script file and they all worked great.

    active TNJ CC
    m,ms              TEXT CENTER/CENTER

     

    active TNJ LC
    m,ms              TEXT LEFT/CENTER and the matching one for RC now can you show me commands to set the Height and Width in the same box?

    Height #1 and Width #2, if you know them the Line Spacing would be wonderful information as well, I have had to set that a few time when using larger text.

    I have learned a Key-in command will not interrupt a command, but the VBA macros will. Thanks for all this help. I have not had any work for 7 months and Now I am trying to get back into  the work full swing.
