I managed to write a VBA script that scans a drawing and extracts number of text (either TextElements or TagSet or TextNode)
that are enclosed within a unique identifier, and then replaces them (with the text in thier new values ) into another new file (with the same drawing content).
The code scans these textsTobeReplaced, and stores the reference to the TextElement or TagSet. then prompts user fornew values (or via XLS sheet).
Now in the new file I am having this very wiered behaviour happening whereby, if I attempt to the fill in single enter-datafield
the new text entered is misbehaving. For instance.
Old Text: F11 (the length is 3 and center justified)
attempting to modify text using fill-in text editor with value of "F2", what happens is the justification is altered (to left)
and only "F" appears!!!
I spent some time comparing what has changed, I couldn't get to the buttom of it. I read the help page it indicates that fill-in data should preserve original length and justification!
Note: If I try to modify the text using Text editor (for text nodes) it works fine!!! (I dont even have to alter the length or justification).
Is there something that I need to preserve and I'm not?
Thanks for the help in advance
