Hi all,
I am trying to convert a file with a large number of text objects to point objects
with the text as an attrubute.
Updating a column with the label text is simple (ObjectInfo (obj, 3)), but placing the
point object in the corrrect location is not.
If I use centroids on the text objects, I get the centroid of the object's bounding
rectangle, and as a lot of the text objects are rotated, the centroid is shifted not
only horisontally but also vertically.
Is there a way to extract the upper left coordinates of the text object, as this is
where it is "anchored", i.e. where the mouse was originally clicked to place it.
Any simple way to convert text objects to point objects?
Any other suggestions?
TIA,
Claus Dam
