How to explode text

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hi there!
Does anyone know how we can explode text in AC. For example in Corel Draw you can make the text as curve and you can use it as object.
This would be very helpful if for example we want to make 3d text (so we could explode the text in fill and the fill convert into slab ...)
Appreciate your help on this.

It's there since AC14, in the Express Tools menu.

The LT version doesn't seem to have an 'Express tools' menu.

I am not familiar with LT, but in all versions you have to install it separately. In the older versions you had to do it manually, in 2006 it is a check box in the installation dialog.

I cannot imagine working without Express menu - it will make work two or three times slower! For example one of its features is the equivalent of AC's Quick layers. For me it's a nightmare to work in Autocad without Quick-layer-control.

So stick to Corel ar Autocad
I guess we just need to use Corel or AutoCAD until AC gets this option.
