When there are several texts in the drawing which need to be modified, it would be much more tedious and inefficient to modify them one by one. Change text allows users make bulk modifications to several texts. For example, this function can modify the alignment, height, width, position, rotation, style and content of several texts simultaneously. It greatly improves the efficiency of single text and Mtext modifications. You can access it from:
Menu: Text>Change Text
Command Entry: Changetext
For example, in a table or part list created, we can apply change text. After the command is started, a message will be displayed in the command line >
Please select object:
Then select the text to be modified, immediately a prompt message will be displayed>
