Textbox size AutoCAD 2009

[Lee5150]

Hi guys,

I'm hoping some one can help me.

I use CAD everyday at work and I frequently need to input text.
When I click the multiline text button I am required to specifiy the size of the textbox with my mouse, so I do.
AutoCAD then chooses to ignore the size I specified and fills my monitor with a HUGE textbox!:?

I know this is a problem with every other instance of AutoCAD on any machine in my office and it's starting to annoy people!

If anyone could help we would all be very greatful

Look up the variable MTEXTFIXED

Thank you very much!

That worked perfectly.

I don't, however, understand the difference between 0 & 1.

Is there a difference?

If it is a variable and there are only two settings then one is for enabling the function and the other is for disabling the function.
