Tip 2287: Convert Text to Standard Notes
Ravi Prakash sent in the Convert Text to Standard Notes utility, which includes LISP code for a series of simple functions that change existing text objects into standard drawing notes. Some simple fabrication notes are provided as examples in the code, and they can be adjusted to your own needs (see the SetQ assignments at the beginning of the code). The basic operation is to load the code and then type N1 (or N2, N3, . . . ) for the various notes. (Six are supplied in the tip.) When the command functions run, they ask you to select an existing text object in the drawing. The text data is then updated from the standard note text for the given N function and variable assignment. This tip is simple yet useful. Thanks for sharing, Ravi!
