Here is what I would like to achieve. Screenshoot and .dwg file attached. Is it possible to do this programmatically?

Using latest version of Aspose.CAD, MText entity has FullClearText property that returns text without formatting symbols. Also, Text property is text with formatting keycodes. The following code sample to set MText entity text style properties

using (CadImage cadImage = (CadImage)Image.Load(fileName))
  {
    foreach (ICadBaseEntity entity in cadImage.Entities)
      {
       if (entity is CadMText)
          {
            CadMText mtext = entity as CadMText;            

            // \\L - underlined
            string underlined = "{\\LTesting}";

            // \\fArial - font name, b1 - bold (b0 not bold), i1 - italic (i0 - not italic)
            string bold_italic = "{\\fArial|b1|i1;text}";

            mtext.Text = underlined +" "+ bold_italic;
           }
      }
  }
