The following are general usage instructions for the TextApps commands:

(1) DDAttmod: The DDAttMod command displays different custom app windows depending on the object type selected. When a Block with Attributes is selected, you are presented with an on-screen dialog box showing the Block's properties for modification. In addition, you can review and change the properties of the Attributes inside the Block. When there is more than one Attribute, you can cycle back and forth through them to review and make changes. Likewise, after an Attribute Definition, MText, or Text object is selected, the properties are also shown in an on-screen dialog for review and modification.

(2) DDTxtJus: The Text Justification command displays a custom app window to graphically assist the user in selecting text justification options. The Type section offers the user the option to select Text, MText, Attribute or Attribute Definition objects to change their justification. Under the Options section, the left column shows a list of the various justification selections available for that object type. The right column at the top shows an image visually reflecting the justification selected. The user can also select an existing matching object type to retrieve the justification by clicking on the Inherit Justification button. A Retain Position toggle option is available to either preserve the current object's location after the change or have the object move along with the justification change. When the OK button is selected the app window is dismissed and the user can now select the matching object type to perform the selected justification changes.

(3) DDTxtMed: The Text Multiple Edit box command when invoked offers the user the option to select Attribute Definition & Text object types to edit the string value. After the selections are completed, a Sort Method window appears for various options to sort the order in the selected objects for editing. Next, a multiple edit box window appears with up to 21 edit boxes showing all the text string values selected for editing. When there are more than 21 string values required for editing at the bottom of the app window are command buttons to go to the Home, Previous, Next, or End of the pages for editing those string values.

(4) DDTxtPed: The Text Property Edits command displays a custom app window with the following sections: (1)The Selection Filter section is where a supported Text object such as Attribute, Attribute Definition, MText, or Text can be selected to acquire the (1)Layer & (2)Rotation properties for filtering. (2)The Selection Set section offers the option of selecting All or Select only a selection set of supported text objects for editing. (3)The Property Edits section offers the following properties to change after the Filtered selection has been applied: (1)Layer, (2)Rotation, (3)Style, (4)Justification, (5)Height, (6)Width & (7)Color. After the OK button is selected if the All Selection Set button is selected, the selection Filter criteria is automatically applied to the entire drawing. If the Select button was selected, then the user is prompted to select only text objects matching the Filter criteria. When the edit process is completed a message window appears showing the number of text object types that have been successfully changed along with the properties.

(5) DDTxtBrk: The DDTXTBRK command offers a graphic user interface to break a Text string into 2 parts. The app window shows an edit box for the first part of the string and another edit box for the second part of the string. When the OK button is clicked the second part of the Text string matching all the properties of the first is added below the first Text string.
(6) DDTxtMrg: The DDTXTMRG command offers a graphic user interface to merge selected Text strings. After the first string is selected and all additional strings are selected to merge, the app window appears in an edit box with the newly completed merged Text string. In addition to being able to make more edits to the Text string, you can choose to either erase all additional strings selected or keep them.

(7) The TxtAppsInfo command can be invoked from within each of the six added commands by clicking on the Info button.
