IdeallyEpic Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Does anyone know how to easily extract the text from MANY text blocks that were created in a view? Someone probably imported them from elsewhere; they are the drawing abbreviations for our sheets and are individual text blocks organized into multiple rows across 6 columns. It seems more practical to consolidate this all into a worksheet in Vectorworks 2021 so that they can be easily managed and updated. Quote Link to comment
michaelk Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Yes, it's possible. This worksheet will get text from text objects using a little script. Make sure you import the script palette to your new file. This worksheet sorts the text object by location: first X ascending, then Y descending. So you can copy a column at a time. Let me know if you have any questions. Get Text.vwx 2 Quote Link to comment
