How to Use the "Hidden" Text Extractor in DWG FastView for Mobile
If you are searching for a dedicated button labeled "Text Extractor" in the main menu of DWG FastView for Mobile, you might be disappointed to find it missing. But don't let that fool you! The app fully supports text extraction; it’s just integrated into the editing workflow rather than being a standalone tool.Steps to Extract Text Effortlessly
Think of it as a "hidden feature" that is actually very easy to use once you know the workflow. Follow these simple steps to get the job done:-
-
- Open Your Drawing: Launch the app and load the CAD file containing the text you need.
- Select the Text: Tap directly on the text or annotation you want to copy.
- Enter Edit Mode: Once selected, tap the Edit Text function in the floating toolbar.
- Copy and Go: Inside the text editing box, long-press the content, choose "Select All," and then hit Copy.
Why This Method Works
By entering the edit window, you access the raw string data of the drawing. This allows you to paste the text into emails, notes, or spreadsheets instantly—effectively serving as a built-in text extractor. Did you catch that? It is a quick shortcut that saves you from tedious manual typing. Text extractor is free.
