This macro enables you to do a search and replace on DataCAD Text entities. Note that it cannot do replacements in MText or PText entities.

Options include case sensitive replaces, whole words, whole entities and confirm each replacement, together with flexible layer options to specify which layers replacements will be done on.


This macro is compatible with DataCAD versions 15 and later. (It was compiled with the header files provided with the DataCAD 15 release and has been tested with DataCAD 19 & 20 ... it may be compatible with earlier versions, but this has not been verified)

You can view the user manual here
