You can use .X filter for this very easily. Start Mtext,.X, INS, pick existing text, pick Y point, ......

grips would display. I would then place the cursor on the upper-left
grip.
Then I would start a line and that line would automatically start from
that
grip
I don't remember that behavior, never used it. It's not there in R14,
which
is the oldest version I still have installed.
Yes, I know that in the above example, I could change the insertion
points
of both of the mtexts to the upper left, but our office standard is for
the
insertion points to be center-left or center-right.
In 2004, all four corners of mtext entities are always available as node
osnaps, in addition to whatever the actual ionsertion point is. Add nodes
to
your running osnaps and you can always pick any of those points without
needing to preselect the mtext or changing any justification types. I
understand in 2005 they added a variable to control whether the nodes are
activated.

Making the Grip hot sets your LASTPOINT... nice tip!
You can also use the ID command to set your LASTPOINT System Variable so you
can use @
This doesn't help Klyph with his original post (as he has indicated that he
is using 2002) but on 2004 you can snap to the NODE of an MTEXT on 2005 you
would set OSNAPNODELEGACY to 0 to perform the same function.

You can try this. Click on the Mtext and then select the grip you need. The
grip should be hot. Press Escape key. Start line and for the first point
select the previous point (@) and press Enter. Then specify the second
point.
For aligning of the text I would suggest to place UCS to the insertion
point of the text to which you want to align the other text objects. Open
Properties dialog box. Click on the text you want to align. In "Geometry"
section of the Dialog Box change corresponding coordinate as needed. For
vertical alignment - change "X" coordinate. For horizontal one - "Y" should
be addressed.

| Thanks. That is a good tip with ".x" for lining up in the "x." And it would work for ".y" when lining up in the "y" also. Again, thanks. Read Ya Later -KLYPH |

Thank you for your kind words. Actually the second way of aligning of texts is faster since you don't have to pick insertion point of each entities. Placing the UCS Origin where you need it is all the preparation which is required.
Regards,
Igor.

> Igor, your first answer works!!!! Thanks so much. I will easily align text from now on. Your second answer is also good, but is a few more steps than I can justify just to make the drawing look a little better. Thanks again. Read Ya Later -KLYPH |
