Reverse Text Script

[Gal]

Hello everyone!

 

Importing a RTL text from AutoCAD seems to be very tricky. The best solution will be a script that will reverse selected text.

 

However I have no coding abilities whatsoever. Will anyone be able to help me here?

 

🙏

In Python that'll be easier:

hText = vs.LSActLayer()
sText = vs.GetText(hText)

sTextReverse = sText[::-1]
vs.SetText(hText, sTextReverse)

Thank you Peter!

 

That is Amazing!

Hi Peter, Is there a way to make the script work when multiple text objects are selected? 🙏

Sure:

def reverse_it(hObj):
	sText = vs.GetText(hObj)
	sTextReverse = sText[::-1]
	vs.SetText(hObj, sTextReverse)

vs.ForEachObject(reverse_it, "(NOTINDLVP & NOTINREFDLVP & ((T=TEXT) & (VSEL=TRUE)))")

Thanks a lot, it works great.
Is it possible to perform a similar inversion within a worksheet?
