Doug_N Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Is there a way to make a text box (just text) a library item? for example: This design uses OBC Part 11 Egress Option A Imagine the attribute has a box around the text so that it is a stamp. I would like to add the box to the drawing and then change the option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Block it then add to Library. If the text contains a macro then you just edit the macro. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug_N Posted October 23, 2019 Author Share Posted October 23, 2019 Hi Joe, Strange but I can't block text. I have to add some other element to it. What am I doing wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug_N Posted October 23, 2019 Author Share Posted October 23, 2019 if I have two text boxes I can block them together, but for some reason, CA will not block one text object, at least mine won't. Have I set some preference incorrectly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Marque select the text box. Then you should be able to block it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug_N Posted October 23, 2019 Author Share Posted October 23, 2019 Joe! You are the man!!! Yes, that works perfectly. All this time I have been drawing a polyline rectange around the text to add it to the library. Now I realize it wasn't the box that let me add the text it was the marque select that was allowing it! Sometimes I miss the most obvious things. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
