You know how it is. It takes hours before an AutoCAD
drawing is created. And then you must check the
drawing. That takes time too.
You can get your AutoCAD drawings within one minute.
All it takes is a smart AutoLISP routine that works
wiht dialog boxes.
If you prefer to wait, then do nothing. But if you want
your AutoCAD drawings immediately, then send a blank e-

mediately. And what more is accomplished with getting

2. Notes from the Publisher
-------------------------------------------------------
Looking for somebody special?
I don't know why. But the girls here look at me in a
special way. As if I'm in match making. As if I can
help them to find a man.
Four girls. They are looking for a man. An orang puti.
That's a white man. They asked whether I have a friend
or whether I know somebody.
So. Guys. Are you looking for somebody special? Here in
Malaysia there are four girls. They are looking for a
white man.
Here's the list:
Girl 1 Working at an agency that's doing visas and
permits. It's a Chinese girl. Pretty. Young.
Maybe twenty.
If you come to Malaysia, you need a visa. For
staying here. This girl knows how to get one.
She can help you.
Girl 2 Works in the same place as girl number 1.
She's also in visas. She can help you to get
one.
This girl is a little bit older. In her
thirties. Divorced. Two little kids. Not that
pretty.
Girl 3 Between 25 and 30. Pretty. Some of her friends
married a white man. Now she wants one too.
Malay man. No good. She finds.
This girl is working on the bus. She's working
as a conductor. She co9uld be making RM 2,000
per month. A lot of money for here.
Girl 4 Now we're talking. You know how it is. Boy
meets girl, boy falls in love, girl falls in
love, marriage, house.
This is the girl for you. She's is selling
houses. She works for a housing project
developer.
The girl is below thirty. But she must be your
type. Because she's a little bit strong in the
weight sector.
Man. Let me know if interested. You could give me your
e-mail address. I will pass it on. Or come to Malaysia.
And I'll bring you to the girl.
Tamil movies
My wife. Malaysian Indian. Watching Tamil movies. And I
don't know what they are alking. I don't speak Tamil.
So I don't like that TV.
Still. I tired hard. And now I know where these Tamil
movies are about. Now I know what thye are saying. And
singing.
I starts with a guy. Type Jean Claude Van Damme. If you
know what I mean. He says: "If you car breaks down, go
to the workshop".
And then there is this guy. Most of the time a tiny
guy. But he has got guts. He says: "I don't go to the
workshop".
You can imagine what is next. Fighting. Jean Claude
starts. He kicks the tiny guy. And then the rest of the
people fight.
The last movie I saw. That one was really good. They
were fighting. Jean Claude jumped into s bulldozer. He
was swinging with the shuffel.
That didn' take long. And tiny guy was laying in the
ground. The shuffel was over him. He couldn't move. He
was crying.
I heard the tiny guy shouting. His guts was gone. He
shouted. "I have no car". Now that's why he didn't go
to the workshop.
And that was the end of the movie. The next time there
is a Tamil movie I will tell my wife what's going to
happen. I want Fear Factor.
Interview
Carrying a briefcase. A newspaper under my arm. I
stepped into the restaurant. It was a truck stop. Along
the highway.
I had an interview. A secret service job. A real secret
service. They were so secret. They didn't have an
office.
I saw an ad in the paper. Wanted. Sleuth. That's the
job for me. I was thinking. So I gave a call. And we
made an appointment in the truck stop.
They had given me an instruction. I had to enter with a
briefcase in my hand. And a paper under my right arm.
That's what I did.
A man stepped towards me. "We have an appointment", he
said, "follow me". I followed the man. We took a seat
at a table. In the corner.
"Excuse me", I said, "I didn't get your name". The man
did as if he hadn't heard me. I repeated: "Your name".
Now he gave me a reply.
"God", he said, "father". "Wait a minute", I said, "I
know. People call you Godfather". I stood up and walked
away. The interview was over.
India
Years ago I met a guy on the airport. He was going to
India. He had been there many times. He thought India
is a fantastic country.
I've seen other people that also had some good feelings
about India. But then. These people were in the Bagwan.
You know who I mean.
Anyway. Some of my subscribers come from India. Do they
have a bad attitude! I always know where they are up
to. Still they surprise me.
Like this guy from India. He wanted to know something
about AutoCAD. Had his own business. But couldn't
afford to engage an AutoCAD man.
He asked his question by e-mail. His English was very
bad. But I could figure out what he wanted to know. And
there was the end of his e-mail.
He didn't ask me. He gave me a command. He wanted to
have an answer within one day. As if he's my boss. What
did he think?
Or this other guy from India. He wanted to have my
books. Without pay. Because in India they don't have
money. He had no money either.
Whether I could send him my books. He would have a look
at them and give me a review. That was so nice.
According to him. The review was at no charge.
India. All over India the people are poor. But if you
come to India. And you step into a shop. The prices go
up by factor four or more.
There was this other Indian guy. He was at university.
He wanted to have my books. Wouldn't it be a good idea
if I came to his university?
The guy came with that suggestion. He would talk to the
dean. He would make arrangements so that I could start
at the university. For AutoLISP.
"Great", I wrote to him. The next day I had a reply. He
was glad that he could be of assistance. And whether I
could send my books to him.
Ai. I shouldn't have said that. Now all my subscribers
from India are going to unsubscribe. Stupid. This is my
end. I'm finished.
While you are still there. Have a good read.

3. Mtext Command
-------------------------------------------------------
With the MTEXT command a multiline text can be drawn.
The MTEXT command is a very powerful command. It
enables formatting of the text and words in the text.
The text or the words can be given separate colors,
height, direction, etc.
The text drawn with the MTEXT command is one object.
The MTEXT command is invoked by clicking on the MTEXT
button on the Draw Toolbar. After invoking the command
the following prompts are displayed:
Current text style: "Standard" Text height: 10
Specify first corner:
Specify opposite corner or [Height/Justify/Line
spacing/Rotation/Style/Width]:
In the first prompt the current text style and the
current text height is displayed. With the two
remaining prompts a window is specified.
In the first prompt the upper left corner of the window
is specified. In the second prompt the lower right
corner of the window is specified.
The text is drawn in the window. After specifying the
corners of the window the Multiline Text Editor is
displayed.
The options of the second prompt are:
Option Description
Height To set the height of the text. The
prompt is:
Specify height <10>:
After entering the height the third
prompt is displayed again
Justify To set the justification of the text.
The prompt is:
Enter justification
[TL/TC/TR/ML/MC/MR/BL/BC/BR] <TL>:
Only nine justifications are available.
Align and Fit are not available.
After entering the justification the
third prompt is displayed again
Line spacing To set the line spacing. The prompt is:
Enter line spacing type [At
least/Exactly] <At least>:
The normal line spacing is 1.66 times
the height of the text. Two line spacing
types can be set: At least and Exactly.
If is chosen for the At least line
spacing type then AutoCAD calculates the
line spacing based on the highest
character. The line spacing of every
line of text is different then.
If the Exactly line spacing type is
chosen then the line spacing is always
the same.
After selecting a line spacing type the
following prompt is displayed:
Enter line spacing factor or distance
<1x>:
At the prompt a line spacing factor can
be entered of an absolute value. After
entering the line spacing the third
prompt is displayed again
Rotation To set the rotation of the text. The
prompt is:
Specify rotation angle <0>:
After entering the rotation angle the
third prompt is displayed again
Style The text style can be set here. The
prompts are the same as those of the
TEXT command
Width To set the width of the MTEXT area. The
prompt is:
Specify width:
After specifying the width the Multiline
Text Editor dialog box is displayed
The text is typed in the window of the dialog box. The
window represents the width of the window in the
drawing that has been specified.
In the toolbar of the editor the following can be set
for the text that is typed or that is selected:
* The font. In the editor a preview of the font is
given
* The height. In the editor a preview of the height is
given
* Bold, italic, or underlined. These options can only
be given to text that have these options
* The color The last button on the toolbar can be used
to insert symbols in the text. The following symbols
are available:
- Degrees
- Plus/minus
- Diameter
- Non-breaking space
- Other
The dialog box has two more tabs: Properties and
Find/Replace. In the Properties tab the following
properties of the text can be set:
- Style
- Justification
- Width
- Rotation
The Find/Replace tab can be used to find or replace
words in the text.
