Convert mtext or text to a Civil3d General Note

Everyone knows that the in civil engineering you typically have drawings orientated so that north is up the page but sites come in every imaginable shape and orientation. This leads every now and again for the need to orientate a site off vertical to fit on a drawing sheet to better utilise the sheet.
In this situation annotative text is great as if you look into the style settings there is a little tick box to set the text to match the orientation of the layout. Therefore the text remains horizontal when you have rotated the site.

However with Multileader Style’s there is a problem the little tick box is missing and has been since 2008 when annotative text was introduced and is still missing in 2012. Therefore you have to manually rotate any multileaders that you have used. Also if you end up with two sheets looking at the same text at different orientations you end up needing two versions of the same text which doubles the problem.
You can however use Civil3d General Notes instead as they are similar to multileaders/qleaders but will rotate to the layout view automatically.

This is great but Civil3d General Notes have a few issues themselves.
1. They are build to have the standard text built into the style itself and not be uniquely written everytime you want to annotate something
2. As such when you copy them from one drawing to another any override text is deleted and reset to the default style text.
3. If you change the note style the override text is reset to the default note style text.
To address this issue and to have the ability to copy text that you already have written in text,mtext or other general notes already. I have put together this piece of code
for 2011.
Here is a demo of what it does you can download the code and finished .dll here. Just type netload at the commandline browse to the .dll and type T2N short for “Text to Note” to start the command.
