Solidworksd 6 (DWGeditor)

Solidworksd 6 (DWGeditor)

(OP)
We have purchased Solidworks 6, and are planning to use the DWGeditor program that goes with it, instead of upgrading AutoCad.  DWGeditor will do everything we need but I am having a problem with one major part.

Multi-line Text wont word wrap properly. :(  When you place the mtext box and/or assign a text width, it wont wrap the text until way beyond the limits of the width you assign it.  It does eventually wrap, but I have not found a way to control this.  Am I missing a Variable somewhere?  Also when opening up an existing AutoCad drawing, the mtext that has already been made is being "flattened out".

Now if it didn't wrap at all, that's one thing, but it is wrapping.  It just wont wrap where I need it to. :(

Please help!!  :)

RE: Solidworksd 6 (DWGeditor)

I've seen that on imported drawings as well, but have no idea how to control it.  Anyone have a clue?
