Set Text in a CADText

[user]

Hello,

I have a problem with CADText in a dwg file.

I load the file and then I try to change the text by code, by setting CADText.Text property, but text doesn't change!

Can someone help me?

Thanks!

Hello,

The code below assigns a new value to CADText:

Code: Select all

CADImage cadImage;
...

private void ChangeText(string textValue, string newValue)
{
    foreach (CADEntity entity in cadImage.Converter.Entities)
    {
        if (entity.EntType == EntityType.Text)
        {
            CADText cadText = entity as CADText;
            if (cadText.Text == textValue)
            {
                cadText.Text = newValue;
                cadImage.Converter.Loads(cadText);
                cadImage.GetExtents();
            }
        }
    }
}

Hello Mikhail,

It's possible to insert a multiline text in a CADText?

Thank you in advance.

Hello.
CAD Import .NET provides CADMText class as multiline texts representation. Any multiline text on a drawing will be imported as CADMText object. If you need to replace single line text with multiline text then delete CADText object and create new MText instead of it.
