How do you display a variable value in Rtext?

[ACADuser]

I have a macro ffe_data with this: [Evaluate / None]

ffe_house = "24.0' FFE NAVD88"

ffe_2nd_Floor = "23.5' FFE NAVD88"

ffe_garage = "23.9' FFE NAVD88"

ffe_porch_1 = "23.5' FFE NAVD88"

ffe_porch_2 = "23.5' FFE NAVD88"

ffe_stoop = "23.5' FFE NAVD88"

ffe_grade_1 = "22.5' FFE NAVD88"

ffe_grade_2 = "22.5' FFE NAVD88"

""

I want to use rtext to display th value of ffe_garage.

What is the syntax to display the value of that variable?

 

Thanks

PS I think someone already told me how years ago but I must have forgotten.

one way to do it is to put 

$ffe_garage = "23.9' FFE NAVD88" 

in the macro

 

and then in the text box

%$ffe_garage%

 

another way to do it is to put ffe_garage = "23.9' FFE NAVD88" at the end of the macro (get rid of the "") and the put 

%ffe_data% in the rtext box

 

as the macro will return the last value assigned

Thanks folks.

I should have remembered it needed to be a global variable. Sorry.

 

Yes Eric, Mtext is an Autocad Term & Rtext is my short hand for Rich Text.

You can't beat the Autocad out of me after 22 years of use.
