Variable: MTEXTED


Specifies how the editor works when creating multiline text using the MTEXT command, when editing multiline text using the MTEDIT command, and when multiline text entities are double-clicked. MTEXTED can be one of the following values:

  • "Internal" or null (.) — The In-Place Text Editor is displayed when working with multiline text.
  • "OldEditor" — The Multiline Text Editor dialog box is displayed when working with multiline text.
  • Path and executable filename to a different text editor — That text editor or word processor program is displayed when working with multiline text. For example, “Notepad” will use the Windows Notepad application when editing multiline text, and saving from Notepad will update the multiline text in the drawing.
  • "External" — The text editor is implemented as an external module for handling text editing in a custom way.

Single-line text entities (TEXT) and multiline text (MTEXT) entities use different systems variables to control how they are edited. See the TEXTED system variable to set the editor behavior for single-line text creation and editing.
