converting autocad text to graphics

[frankd]

Ive been dealing with autocad for over 15 years and never knew there was a way to convert Text to graphics.

They supply on thier CD some utilities called Express Tools.
By default, they dont install and dont get copied to the hard drive.
You need the Autocad CD, and rerun the Install , but you just need to add a dot beside Express Tools . You dont need to reinstall everything.

Once installed , you see a Explode Text tool.
This tool is usefull as we dont fully support all of Autocads fonts yet.
We support standard SHX but not BigFonts or Extended fonts.
This tool convers Text to PolyLines
Theres a Fit Text To Arc tool there also.
