Issues find text within blocks

Douglas Moreira

 Hello everyone. I'm having some issues when I try to find text within blocks.

1. Usually when I use the command "find" I can find text within blocks.

But for some reason I do not know why, in some blocks BricsCAD can not find the text. I realize that the "find" command simply does not find when the block is too large.

There must be some reason. Can anyone tell me if it has gone through and how you solved this problem?

Thanks for reading!

I believe Find only finds text in blocks if it's in the form of Attributes.
Whereas attributes can have different values attached to each block, text is contained in the block.
Similarly, listing entities in a file doesn't count all the lines, circles etc within blocks.
At times it would be helpful if you could Find plain text or mtext within blocks.

if you like, you can use my 'Suchtext'.
Its availlabe for free at: http://www.cadwiesel.de/index.php?hp=downloads&anzeigedatei=downloads&cat=objekte&ucat=texte&dbcat=Texte
This allows jou to search Strings in all kind of Propertys like Attributes, Blocknames, Text, MText and also search CAD-Handles.
The Tool is still in German Language, but you can easy translate the dcl to English

Thank you very much for your attention.

I really enjoyed your lisp!

Tips: You could list all the results in a dialog box, allowing the user to choose the word you want to work.

Thanks again!

Yes, you are right.
I'll do it in an way, like its working in AutoCAD. The BricsCAD 'find' isnt as comfortable.
