Autocad vba text alignment

TextString: String; input-only. The actual text to be displayed. InsertionPoint: Variant three-element array of doubles ; input-only. The 3D WCS coordinates on the drawing where the text is placed.

Height: Double; input-only. The height of the text. It must be a positive number. The sample workbook that you will find in the Downloads section below requires three main user inputs as the AddText method , as well as four optional: the coordinates of the insertion point in X, Y, Z — in other words, where you want the newly created text to be inserted, the text height like font size and the text message that should be displayed in the drawing.

The optional parameters give additional functionality, so you can adjust the alignment, the rotation angle, the width factor and the color of the text to be inserted. Note that if you have AutoCAD or a newer version, you will have to download and install the VBA module, otherwise the code will probably fail.

The short video below demonstrates the result of the above VBA code. Seven lines of text are inserted in the legend of this sample drawing. Each line has a different color, scale factor, and alignment, while the rotation angle for all lines was set to zero. The file can be opened with Excel or newer.
