1. AutoCAD currently supports creating PDF files as a publishing output for AutoCAD drawings. PDF files can be attached to drawings, which can be used as a reference when collaborating on projects. In AutoCAD 2017 for Mac, you can import the geometry, TrueType text, and raster images from a specified page in a.
2. Underlining text in a block caption Just had a thought but I'm not sure how to go about it. I use a typical caption block for labeling details and elevations (circle with a line running through the center) Different captions have different length titles and I have a stretch parameter to keep the line under the text.

Program Description

This program enables the user to dynamically align a new or existing Text or MText object to a selected curve, with intuitive placement controls available at the command-line.

To make life a little easier, AutoCAD offers a text property that will draw a frame that automatically adjusts to the size of the text whenever it is edited. To add a frame to text, select the text and then right-click and select Properties from the context menu. Scroll down the list of properties until you find the Text frame option.

Upon issuing the command syntax ATC at the AutoCAD command-line, the user is prompted to select a Text or MText object to align. At this prompt, the user also has the option to create a new Text or MText object, or configure the program settings.

If the New option is chosen, the user is further prompted to enter the content for the new text object, or may press Enter to return to the previous prompt.

If the Settings option is chosen, the user is presented with a dialog interface through which several program parameters may be configured - these settings are detailed in the section below entitled: Program Settings.

The user is then prompted to select a curve to which the text will be dynamically aligned. The program is compatible for use with Lines, LWPolylines, 2D (Heavy) Polylines, 3D Polylines, Arcs, Circles, Ellipses, Elliptical Arcs & Splines; furthermore, these objects may be primary or nested (to any depth) within a block or xref.

Finally, the program will perform successfully under all UCS & View settings and with Annotative Text Styles.

Dynamic Text Alignment

Following valid selection of a curve, the new or existing Text or MText object is dynamically aligned to the curve based on the position of the AutoCAD cursor.

During text alignment, several controls are available at the command-line to refine the text position & other properties, such as rotation; these controls are individually detailed below:

Program Settings

Upon selecting the Settings option when prompted, the user is presented with the following dialog interface:

Each of the above options are described individually below:

Object type for new text

This setting determines whether the program will create a single-line text (DText) object or multiline text (MText) object when the user opts to create new text.

Justification for new text

This setting controls the justification of any new text object created by the program.

Text Offset Factor

This is the default offset factor controlling the minimum distance of the text from the selected curve, as a multiple of the text height. This factor may also be zero if the text is to be positioned directly over the selected curve.

Text Rotation

This setting controls the default rotation of the text relative to the selected curve.

Text Readability

This toggle determines whether the text should be rotated to preserve readability, i.e. if enabled, the text will never appear upside-down.

Background Mask

This toggle controls whether a background mask is used when aligning MText objects.

Multiple Text Mode

If this setting is enabled, the program will continuously generate text objects to align with the selected curve until the user exits the program.

Program Demonstration

Instructions for Running

Please refer to How to Run an AutoLISP Program.

Creates a radius dimension for a circle or an arc.

Access Methods

Summary

Measures the radius of a selected circle or arc and displays the dimension text with a radius symbol in front of it. You can use grips to reposition the resulting radius dimension easily.

List of Prompts

The following prompts are displayed.

Select arc or circle:

Specify dimension line location or [Mtext/Text/Angle]: Specify a point or enter an option

Determines the angle of the dimension line and the location of the dimension text. If the dimension is placed off of an arc resulting in the dimension pointing outside the arc, AutoCAD for Mac automatically draws an arc extension line.

Displays the In-Place Text Editor, which you can use to edit the dimension text. Use control codes and Unicode character strings to enter special characters or symbols. See Control Codes and Special Characters.

If alternate units are not turned on in the dimension style, you can display them by entering square brackets ([ ]). For more information about formatting dimension text, see Select and Modify Objects.

The current dimension style determines the appearance of the generated measurements.

Customizes the dimension text at the Command prompt. The generated dimension measurement is displayed within angle brackets.

To include the generated measurement, use angle brackets (< >) to represent the generated measurement. If alternate units are not turned on in the dimension style, you can display alternate units by entering square brackets ([ ]).

Dimension text properties are set on the Text tab of the New, Modify, and Override Dimension Style dialog boxes.
