TXT2MTXT not working
Hi, I've downloaded ExpressTools from the Bricsys website and installed it per the included instructions. I'm trying to use the txt2mtxt command, but I keep getting the following error:
TXT2MTXT
Entities in set: 2
----- LISP : Call Stack -----
; [0]...C:TXT2MTXT <<--
;
; ----- Error around expression -----
'ENAME
; in file : C:\Program Files\Bricsys\BricsCAD V18 en_US\Express\leaderex.des
;
; error : bad argument type ; expected at [*]'
Can anyone explain this to me or suggest a way to fix it?

There are alternative versions of Text to Mtext conversion, by Lee Mac, RWills, DotSoft, and others. Those will work for you. See this older thread for links to them and an explanation of why you're having a problem with the Express Tools version:

abosveld,
Had the same issues last yr.
Anthony Apostolaros is right on; check the link he mentions:

Go down to the 13th thread.
rwills2691’s TMT lisp routine works flawlessly. I copied & pasted it into a new lisp routine named TMT.lsp & dragged it into BricsCAD; works like a charm. Then APP (APPLOAD) so it is always available whenever needed.
