Tip #1943 from Theodorus Winata, found in file HTH1943.LSP, contains a Visual LISP command function that merges text objects. This function is quite helpful when you want to line up a series of notes. Place text notes as you work in the drawing off to the side. Then, to run the program, load HTH1943.LSP and type JMT. The routine asks you to select two text objects. The result appends where the first text object is. The second text object selected is added to the end of the first as a new line. When you select an mtext object with multiple text lines first, the program adds the merge text at the bottom after it adds a new line. When you select a regular text object first, the merge text appears with the expanded characters for mtext appended to the end of the original string.
