... select multiple entities and apply some setting to them.

For example ...
I'd like to select ALL of the Mtext entities and explode them, or change their font, or .... Or select all of the text within a window and change the font, or the aspect or .... OR ... (well, you get the idea!).

Please?

Think what you want to do could all be done using mask.

MAYBE .... but you and I should meet and go over it to see if it would work!

Seriously, that MIGHT work but I'd have to try it ....

I'm not sure where I'd pick up the Mask command Josh - to get to where you can explode the Mtext you have to right-click the entity. After that you can't select any more entities, and you have to select and explode each entity = multiple picks and clicks that I'd like to see squeezed down to just two or three.

Hi, Alan

To explode Mtext using Mask:
Edit>Text>MText>Explode (S7)>Mask

Hope this helps
