CADPower -> Text Tools -> Conversion -> Convert text strings to attribute definitions
Key features include:
- Convert Text to Attributes:
- Transform standard text objects into attribute definitions (ATTDEF), ensuring their compatibility with block behaviors and mirroring settings.
- Attribute Types:
- Normal: Creates a standard attribute definition that behaves like regular text.
- Invisible: Generates an attribute definition that remains hidden but retains its data properties.
- Constant: Creates a fixed-value attribute definition, ideal for preventing text mirroring in blocks.
- Address Mirroring Issues:
- Solve the problem of mirrored text in blocks when using MIRRTEXT system settings.
- Ensure text within blocks remains readable, regardless of the block’s mirrored state.
Applications:
- Convert text to attribute definitions in mirrored blocks to maintain legibility.
- Create blocks with dynamic attributes while managing visibility and constant properties.
- Improve the control and flexibility of text objects in block designs.
