creating text features

[michaelpaul]

I have to create some text to be engraved in my plastic part. No big deal.......normally.

However, the text I have to create is a multiline phrase for some regulatory agency verbage. One of the things that Pro E does horribly is this type of feature.

So, my question is........

is there any easy way to create multi-line text such that

A) each line of text is uniformly space
B) each line of text shares the same parameters (aspect ratio, text height, font, etc.)
C) each line of text is properly justified.

The first one I know I can accomplish using construction lines and constraints.

the second one I have no idea how to accomplish other than usually m text isn't going to change much so once I figure out what I want it should be pretty static. sometimes I do play with the aspect ration to get an extra character to fit on a line within the specified width I have to work with.

The third one I have absolutely no clue. I can left align using constraints but I have no idea how to justify (space the text out uniformly across the width of the space), how to center each line of text properly relative to the width you have, or even right align if you wanted to.

Is there an easy way?

Thanks

Michael

You can have multiple lines of text in one feature so it is easy to use common references and text height/font.

It is easy to left align but at the moment there is no way to center text. I vaguely remember that is supposed to come in WF4. Can anyone confirm?

Here is a way of centering text.
