How to limit text length
How to limit text length
(OP)
How do you limit the length of variable generated text or force a second line after so many characters. Ie. I am using
<W@$SH_PART_NAME> for title block names but want to limit the length to fit into the title block space???
Thanks

RE: How to limit text length
Can't you just width adjust the text to fit in the title block space? There is an option to do this; it is the edit text (right click -> style -> Space Factor then enter 0.1 or something like that. Depends how much longer the text is in relation to the space... Or Failing that try Style -> Fit methods -> check 'auto size row' box. Then if you enter a load of text into a small box it gets 'squashed to fit'.
