Attribute Word Wrapping

Attribute Word Wrapping

Attribute Word Wrapping

(OP)
Anybody know how to create an Attribute, and have the Text Wrap (multiple lines) if it is longer than a certain width (or number of characters)?

An example would be a Notes section. If I type notes into a "box", and the width of some string becomes to wide for one line, I want the text to "wrap" to another line, but remain one attribute.

TIA

RE: Attribute Word Wrapping

I do not think that is possible. It might be a good item for a AutoCAD wish list though.

You could try putting some mtext in a block and then use the block editor to update it. Not very convenient but another option.

Yeah, I figure it wasn't possible, or at least nobody has done it yet. Guess I'll have to use MText or regular Text, and first split the lines into seperate text strings in a program.
