Command
line: GT_DWGFONTS
The GT_DWGFONTS command is used to write to a text file all the font files used by the current drawing. This information can be complied just before shipping the drawing to a client or to another location so that the recipient can read the drawing properly without missing any dependent font files.
The text file is created in the same directory as the drawing with the name ~DrawingName~.Fon".

Text in Box einschließen
Command
line: GT_ENCLOSE
GT_ENCLOSE is used to surround selected TEXT and MTEXT objects within either a circle,
box or slot. The box is created as a 3DFACE with its Z values just under the
TEXT or MTEXT. So, this technique can be used to hide the objects under the TEXT
or MTEXT when the drawing is plotted. The "Hide" option must be turned on to achieve this.

Command
line: GT_T_ALIGN
The TX_T_ALIGN command aligns selected TEXT objects either to a horizontal, vertical or inclined datum line.
You must specify the alignment line by picking a single point in the case of a horizontal or vertical line and by picking two points in the case of an inclined datum. Fitted
and Aligned text justifications cannot be aligned using this method. All other
types of text objects can be aligned.

Art ändern
Command
line: GT_CHCASE
The GT_CHCASE command allows changing the case (Capitalization) of
Text, MText and block attributes. Text strings can be converted to upper, lower
or mixed case with an additional option of using a text translation table.

What to process:
Text / MText:
Choosing this option
processes the text and mtext objects only.
Attributes:
Choosing this
option processes only the attributes of as block
Select Text case:
Upper:
Changes all selected
text / attributes to upper case
Lower:
Changes all selected
text / attributes to upper case
Mixed (Title) case:
Changes
all selected text / attributes to mixed case. Mixed case capitalized the first
alphabet of each word. For example, the string "THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC CENTER" would become "The National Geographic Center".
Options:
Use translation dictionary:
Check this option to use a translation dictionary. Using a translation
dictionary, you can replace text strings completely with alternative text. Think
of this as a global and variable text search and replace. All strings contained in this text file will be substituted "as-is" without applying any
case conversion logic. Typically, you would add in all the abbreviations and exceptions to the conversion into this text file. This is a simple comma delimited text file, which contains the original string in the drawing and the replaced string separated by a comma.
Example:
LTA,Land Transport Authority
USA,USA
MCDONNALDS,McDonnalds
This would convert all strings "LTA" to "Land Transport Authority", "USA" will remain as "USA" and "MCDONNALDS" would become
"McDonnalds".
Delimiter to use:
Specify the
delimiter to use in the translation text file.
Dictionary file: Specify the
name of the dictionary file Block
parameters: Name:
Pick and choose the block name. Attribute:
Pick and choose the attribute tag name for the selected block.

Texte/MTexte ändern
Command
line: GT_MODTXT

GT_MODTXT allows global editing of text and mtext properties like Justification, Style, Height and rotation angles (both absolute and
relatively), increment / decrement text, set constant value etc. The required target properties can be set easily in a dialog box and a multiple selection of text objects can be made. The selected property and value is applied to all objects in the selection set.
Note: The Justification property is not applicable to MTEXT objects.

Text zeichnen (laufende Nummern)
Command
line: GT_TC
The GT_TC command can be used to quickly create multiple text
objects with sequential (running) numbers. It can also create multiple block
insertions with sequential (running) attribute values. For instance, if you want
to create a number of electric poles or water meter joints whose attributes have
to be sequentially incremented, simply define your block with the necessary
attributes and run GT_TC specifying the block name and attribute to use.
Additionally, you can set prefixes and suffixes for both text and block objects.
All text properties like
counter values, increment, format width, prefix, suffix, text height, rotation angle and justification can be set as defaults during the command, leaving only the insertion point to be specified for each text
or block insertion.
This command can also be used to update existing text or block objects with the current text
parameters. i.e, if there is a text or block object at the picked insertion point, it can be automatically updated with the new text value.
Text Height
Defines the height of the text.
Rotation Angle
Defines the rotation angle of the text.
Starting Value
Defines the starting value to use for the next text or block attribute
Format width
Defines the width of the numeric text. For example, if the starting value is
specified as 1 and the Format width is specified as 3, the number will be
written as 001 i.e each number will have at least three digits in them. The blank
spaces will be padded with 0's.
Value Increment
Type the integer amount by which each consecutive insertion should be
incremented.
Prefix
Enter the prefix that should be appended before each text string
Suffix
Enter the suffix that should be appended after each text string
Update underlying object, if present
If this box is checked, text counter will check if there is a counter object at
the point of pick within the search distance (see below). If an object is found,
it is updated with the current text counter value else a new object is placed at
that location. This makes it easy for the text counter to be applied on objects
that have already been placed. For instance, if a number of electric poles have
already been placed and you want only to number their attributes sequentially,
you can check this option and proceed to pick the poles in the order that you
wish.
Search distance for underlying object
Defines the amount (in AutoCAD units) to search around the picked point for any
existing counter object.
Counter object to create
Two types of counter objects can be created. Text or Blocks (with attributes)
.If a block is chosen as the counter object, you must also specify the attribute
name to be used. Blocks that do not contain attributes will not be listed in the
dialog box.
Select block
Drop-down list to select the blocks defined in the current drawing document.
Select counter attribute
Drop-down list to select the attributes defined for the currently selected
block.
Insert in existing series
Clicking on this button you can insert a new counter text in an existing series of text objects and automatically update all the other texts in the series which match the criteria. For example, if you have a existing text series like A1, A2, A3, A4, A5 and so on, you can insert a new text object called A3 and the program will automatically renumber all existing text objects greater that the picked value , like A3 becomes A4 and A4 becomes A5 and so on.

Mehrfache Texteinfügungen
Command
line: GT_MT
This is a quick text insertion command that eliminates the mundane text options like height, rotation angle, justification etc
each time you insert the text. It prompts for text height and rotation angle
only at the beginning and inserts all the text with specified height, rotation
angle and insertion point. The other parameters are taken from
the program defaults.
Text Height
Defines the height of the text.
Rotation Angle
Defines the rotation angle of the text.

Text-Filter
Command
line: GT_TXTFILTER
This command allows a selection of Text and MText objects to be filtered based on their text string value. Two method of filtering can be adopted:
Text search
Using Text search, the filtering can be done based on a wildcard pattern matching of the text string.
Numeric Search
Using Numeric search, the text is assumed to represent numbers and hence is first internally converted to a real number and a comparison is done based on the operators specified for numeric filtering.
Example: This command can be used to select all text objects whose numeric value if greater than 100.0 or to select all text having the words "NOTES" in it.

Text relativ zum Drehwinkel versetzen
Command
line: GT_TXTSLIDE

The GT_TXTSLIDE command slides or moves text in a direction which is specified
relative to the rotation angle of the text. This command can be used in various
imaginative ways and to achieve several editing requirements. For instances,
this command can be used to increase or decrease the spacing between text labels
and adjoining features by moving them in a specified direction. Since the
direction of movement is specified as an angle relative to the rotation angle of the text,
this can be used to move the text in a 360 degrees direction by any amount
specified in the slide distance. For instance, to move the text in a direction
vertically above, enter the slide direction as 90 degs.

attribute text.
Replace searched TEXT: If enabled, the replace option is invoked.
The search text string is then replaced with the replace text string according
to the options set above.
Interactive Replace (confirm each replace): If enabled, each replace operation will seek
confirmation before proceeding. This causes the currently processing text string
to be zoomed into and allows it to be confirmed before replacing. The zooming is
done at the current viewport zoom scale. If you need to see through a text
clearly in congested drawings, you may need to zoom deep enough before starting
this command.

Command
line:GT_SPLITTEXT

The GT_SPLITTEXT command is used to split a
long line of text or Mtext string into a number of smaller text strings based on
a delimiter. So, if you have a text string that looks like: "The,Quick,Brown,Fox,Jumps,Over,The,Lazy,Dog"
and if the comma character "," is specified as the delimiter, this command will
create individual text strings like "The" "Quick" "Brown" "Fox" "Jumps" "Over"
"The" "Lazy" "Dog" at almost the same insertion point locations as where the
original string was in the combined string.
Delimiter for string splitting: Enter the delimiter to be used for splitting
text strings.

Textobjekte auseinanderrücken
Command
line: GT_UNCLUTTER
The GT_UNCLUTTER command is used to automatically
move overlapping text objects around and unclutter the drawing.
The program uses a compute-intensive (slow execution) but result producing
algorithm to actually do a trial-and-error by moving the overlapping text around
in all or any of the four directions, namely Up, Down, Left and Right or in
two-direction combinations like Left-Right and Up-Down. By doing so, when it
detects a clear space it place the text there.

Label movement
direction
In this section, you specify the direction in which the program must scan to
look for available free space to place the labels.
All: Check this option to scan for label space in all four directions
around the pick points. The four directions are Up, Down, Left and Right.
Left: Check this option to scan for label space only to the left of the
picked point.
Right:
Check this option to scan for label space only to the right of the picked point.
Up: Check this option to scan for label space only in the direction above
the picked point.
Down: Check this option to scan for label space only in the direction
below the picked point.
As the names suggest, selecting the directions UpDown, LeftRight,
Rotate Clockwise, Rotate Counter-Clockwise, Rotate Both will scan the
drawing in two directions together.
Other parameters
Movement increment:
Specify how much distance to move in the specified direction during each new
check for free label space.
Display leaders:
Checking this box
causes the annotation to be displayed with leaders.
