Continue from the Last Text Object Created *Applies to: AutoCAD R13, 14, 2000, 2000i, 2002 and 2004*
Have you ever created a new text object in the
drawing only to end the command and then realize that you wanted to
continue with the command, but with a new row of text below it. This
tip will show you how to do just that. It is limited to the DTEXT command
though.
Step 1 -
To continue from an existing string of text it had to be
created with the DTEXT command. It will use the
properties of the last string of text typed (height and
justification). Type in DT or DTEXT at the command line
or find it from the Draw pull down under Text>>Single
Line Text.
*Note: When the command was started, the last
piece of text became highlighted.
Step
2 -
With the command active and waiting for you to respond to
it, just hit Enter and the cursor will display the I-Beam
icon. Notice that it started right below the last line
that was typed. It now looks as if you just hit Enter and
it forced it to go to a new line.
Step
3 -
Type your string of text like you normally would and just
exit the command by hitting Enter a couple times.
