autocad_entity: autocad_text
Features with autocad_entity set to autocad_text are stored in and read from drawing files as text entities. A text entity is represented by a single coordinate and the following attributes.
|
Attribute Name |
Contents |
|
autocad_text_string |
The text string. Range: char[1024] Default: No default |
| autocad_original_text_string |
The contents of a text entity including the character codes used to define its style and formatting. When reading, this is converted into To set the contents of a text entity when writing, the value of this attribute is used in preference to Range: char[1024] Default: No default |
|
autocad_rotation |
The rotation of the text for an entity. Range: -360.0..360.0 Default: 0 Reprojectable: Yes |
| autocad_original_rotation |
The rotation of the text of an entity before a potential transformation, such as a User Coordinate System, is applied by the AutoCAD reader. This value is used preferentially to set the text rotation when writing a text entity. Range: -360.0..360.0 Default: 0 |
|
autocad_true_type_font |
The name of the TrueType font used to display the text string. For text entities, this attribute is only used by the AutoCAD writer, since single-line text entities do not have support for TrueType fonts. If this attribute is specified on an autocad_text feature, a multiline text entity will be created and written instead of a single-line text entity. Default: No default |
|
autocad_text_size |
The text height. Range: 64-bit floating point number > 0 Default: 10 Reprojectable: Yes |
| autocad_original_text_size |
The text height of an entity before a potential transformation, such as a User Coordinate System, is applied by the AutoCAD reader. This value is used preferentially to set the text size when writing a text entity. Range: 64-bit floating point number > 0 Default: 10 |
|
autocad_width_factor |
The scaling applied in the x direction which makes the text wider or narrower. However, this doesn’t affect the weight (i.e., boldness) of the text string. Range: 64-bit floating point number > 0 and <= 10000 Default: 1 |
|
autocad_oblique |
The oblique angle of the text, which causes the entity to lean to the right or left of vertical, where positive numbers indicate to the right. For convenience, the AutoCAD reader and writer will treat the range of values from 275.0..360.0, as an alternative specification of the range from -85.0..0. Range: -85.0 ..85.0 Default: 0 |
|
autocad_alignment_x autocad_alignment_y autocad_alignment_z |
The alignment coordinate of the text. This location is used in conjunction with the justification and the feature location to place the text correctly. This is primarily of use when performing an AutoCAD-to-AutoCAD translation. To override the justification of source AutoCAD dataset, you need to remove these alignment attributes from the feature and then set the autocad_justfication attribute. This is because when performing an AutoCAD-to-AutoCAD translation, these alignment attributes override the autocad_justification attribute. Note that if autocad_justification is set to autocad_baseline_left for this text, then the alignment point attributes will match the text entity location. Range: Any 64-bit floating point value Default: x, y, and z value of text alignment point Reprojectable: Yes |
| autocad_font_bold |
Indicates whether the TrueType font related to the text style has bold formatting. Range: Yes | No Default: No |
| autocad_font_charset |
The Windows TrueType font character set identifier for the related text style.
Range: Integer, as above Default: 0 |
| autocad_font_italic |
Indicates whether the TrueType font related to the text style has italic formatting. Range: Yes | No Default: No |
| autocad_font_pitch_family |
The Windows font pitch and family identifier for the related text style. Not for RealDWG. Range: Integer Default: 0 |
| autocad_font_pitch |
The Windows font pitch identifier for the related text style. RealDWG only. Range: default | fixed | variable Default: default |
| autocad_font_family |
The Windows font family identifier for the related text style. RealDWG only. Range: roman | swiss | modern | script | decorative | do_not_care Range: do_not_care |
| autocad_font_typeface |
The Windows TrueType font character set identifier for the related text style. Range: char[50] Default: No default |
|
autocad_big_fontname |
The name of the file which contains fonts for large character sets. Range: char[65] Default: No default |
|
autocad_shape_name |
The name of the shape which contains the text font definition. Range: char[33] Default: STANDARD |
|
autocad_shape_filename |
The name of the file which contains the text font1AutoCAD shape files should not be confused with Esri shapefiles. AutoCAD shape files hold font and symbol definitions; Esri shapefiles hold spatial features. definition. Range: char[65]; Default: txt |
|
autocad_shape_rotation |
The angle for the text as defined in shape file. Range: 64-bit floating point number Default: 0 |
|
autocad_shape_height |
The height of the text as defined in shape file. Range: 64-bit floating point number Default: 0 |
|
autocad_shape_width |
The width of the text as defined in shape file. Range: 64-bit floating point number Default: 1 |
| autocad_shape_vertical |
Indicates if the shape text, as defined in the shape file, is vertical or horizontal. Range: yes | no Default: None |
|
autocad_generation |
The generation of the text entry. Range: autocad_normal | autocad_upside_down | autocad_backwards | autocad_upsidedown_backwards Default: autocad_normal |
|
autocad_justification |
The justification of the text relative to its insert point. Range: autocad_top_left | Default: autocad_baseline_left |
|

Indicates if the text is vertical. Used only by the Reader. This attribute will only exist if reading a graphical text entity. Default: not applicable, since this is a Reader-only attribute. |
|
autocad_underlined |
Indicates if the text is underlined. Used only be the Reader. This attribute will only exist if reading a graphical text entity. Default: not applicable, since this is a Reader-only attribute. |

| autocad_anno_force_visible |
This indicates the value of an option to override the ANNOALLVISIBLE system variable for an annotative object, forcing it to display in Autodesk applications, regardless of the current scale. Used in combination with annotation scales. Default: none |
