The ‘FIND’ command helps a user to find Text / Mtext content. Often, we have to change our existing text content as per project drawing file needs. Often our modeling and design need to be changed as per site requirement and revised engineering concept. Consequently, the BIM information has to be changed. Whenever the textual information needs revision, the ‘FIND and Replace’ command is effective. We can easily find and replace text with the ‘FIND’ command. Replacement is based only on the text content. However, the text justification, layer and properties should remain unchanged. While searching for the text in 3D environment, the viewport will be temporarily changed to a 2D viewport, so that the text isn’t blocked by 3D objects in the drawing. If we use only simple wildcard feature, it can start with a W and single character (If the character place holder is changed, then the logic will be changed for another place holder). In order to select by the build logical w...
