Replace CHT in AutoCAD for text substitution

If we need to replace a lot of text with the same text in one file, we usually think of a substitution command. In previous versions of AutoCAD, you had to load the CHT feature and use the CHT related commands to complete the replacement work. But in the AutoCAD R14 can complete the replacement work directly without reloading the CHT.

The method in R14 is to click the "Properties" button in the status bar, choose to replace the text, such as to replace the text is "bed bright moonlight, suspected to be on the ground frost", click "Enter" or click the right mouse button, then pop-up "Modify mtext" dialog box, click the "Full Editor" button.

Pop-up "Multiline Text Editor" dialog box, select the "Find/replace" tab, in the "Find" column to replace the text "bed before the Moon light", and then click on the next "Find" button, so in the window below "bed before the Moon light" was reversed election.

Then in the "Replace" column to fill in the text to be replaced, such as "Look up to the moon," and then click Next to the "Replace" button, so in the window below the "bed before the bright Moonlight" for replaced by "Looking at the Moon". If you want to do a lot of the same substitution, when a lot of text in a large number of the same text to replace the other text, just continue to click the "Replace" button on the OK.

What you need to note here is that there are two options "Match case" and "Whole Word" after the "Replace" button. Selecting the Match case option indicates that it is case-sensitive in the search and replace process; if "Whole word" is selected, it means that the word you are looking for is replaced only by a complete word in the text you are looking for, and if it is just a part of a word, the system prompts you not to find the word. Both of these options are set for phonetic text.

After the election, click "OK", and return to the "Modify mtext" dialog box, where you can also set some other options to set up, click the "OK" button, you can see the editing of our original selected text has been replaced.
