I'm using the free version of IntelliCAD 2000. I wrote some text into the drawing (using text command), but it was misplaced. I wanted to move it, but I couldn't select it!. When I tried to erase it, it didn't work too. Who can help me?
Thanks,
Oliver

I presume you used true type fonts when doing this, change the style to use a shx font (simplex.shx is my fav). True Type Fonts are dreadful for cad drawings, not just intellicad 2000 and I would steer away from using them at all unless absolutley necessary.

You could try Regenerating the drawing and then deleting the text if it is still there.

In CAD you sometimes can see entities like text and lines etc. on the screen, yet they are not in the drawing database and sometimes you cannot see an entity yet they are in the drawing database.

Regenerating the drawing updates all entities between the screen and the drawing database.

I agree with Michael. True Type fonts introduce too many problems for the end user. This is especially true when distributing your drawings that use a true type font. You have to supply the true type font with the drawing (which is true with shx fonts as well) and then hope the end user can get the font installed correctly. With a shx font you merely place the font in the fonts directory of IntelliCAD and it finds it. Plus true type fonts don't display the same on all IntelliCAD flavors since true type fonts are really still in the debug stage of development.

How would I display coordinates or point ID numbers on the drawing beside the actual points?

I have finished your lisp routine. Please check your email.
Anyone else who may be interested in this routine can email me directly at dtrotzjr@programmer.net, otherwise I will be posting it at my new CAD Utilities web site early next week.

There is a type of dimensions, called Ordinate. Check the menu Insert/Dimensions/Ordinate or type "dim" <Enter> "or" <Enter>. Select the point and drag the line horizontaly to display Y-coordinate ou vertically to display X-coordinate.

This comand will display you the coordinates in your current user coordinate system. To change the origin of your coordinate system, use the command UCS. To change text size and font, use DDIM comand.

Maybe this will be fine for you.
