Topic: need help on a macro (again)

[ELOQUINTET]

i am developing a macro which i want to do the following

1 save current osnaps
2 convert text to mtext
3 justify the text
4 move the text (during which i change the osnaps to endpoint only)
5 reset osnaps to previous

i have the macro working except for resetting the osnaps. it seems that after the move command completes the macro is terminating. what do i need to change or perhaps i have to use a different method?

^C^C^P(setq temp (getvar "osmode"))(princ);_TXT2MTXT;\\;JUSTIFYTEXT;L;;L;osmode;1;MOVE;L;;\\;;^P(setvar "osmode" temp)(setq temp nil)(princ);

Try it without the second echo toggle:

^C^C^P(setq temp (getvar "osmode"))(princ);_TXT2MTXT;\\;JUSTIFYTEXT;L;;L;osmode;1;MOVE;L;;\\;;(setvar "osmode" temp)(setq temp nil)(princ);

i forgot here's the working macro

^C^C^P(setq temp (getvar "osmode"))(princ);_TXT2MTXT;\\;JUSTIFYTEXT;L;;L;osmode;1;MOVE;L;;\\(setvar "osmode" temp)(setq temp nil)(princ);

alot of our old drawings contain single line text and are all left justified (even when it is left of the detail) and it drives me crazy. i know some will say that is the correct way but i just like a clean text box around my detail. thanks dommy for your input.

'Textjustfy' - Way cool!

I didn't know such a command existed! I've always pulled up the properties box and changed it there.

Thanks for posting this. I am making the macros now!

I guess I should interject before you get too far into your macro making proccess:
Command is JUSTIFYTEXT

Yes, I see I did type that Backwards.

My macros work great, so at least I got it right where it really counts.

thanks again,
