In this video, Shaun Bryant shows how to set up and use numbered and lettered list formatting when converting to MTEXT.
- So again, we're staying in the ConvertToMTEXT.dwg file,…and what we're going to look at now,…is numbered and lettered list formatting.…Now that kind of sounds a bit strange, I know.…It all sounds very, very technical,…and as we're in an AutoCAD video,…you'd expect it to be technical anyway.…But what we're going to look at is…single-line text that has letters and numbers in a list.…So you'll notice I've got some single-line text here…that says auto-number, and it starts with number one…and then goes down two, and three, and four.…
