COPY TEXT (VALUE)

This command copies the text value from the first piece of text selected and changes the second piece of text selected to that value. The text may come from text, mtext, attributes, or dimensions and you may select the text value from one type of text and put it in another type of text. When getting text values from mtext and placing the text value in another type of text the formatting codes are deleted so you just get the text.
