At the moment I am working on a long section for work i want to change the width factor of some text so it will fit in the datum, I am using MTEXT. Can anyone help??

If you have rows of chainages or levels, you really should be using single line text. That way you can use a lisp routine (CHTEXT.LSP) to change the width factor of all selected text.

 

Say the base text has a width factor of 1, with CHTEXT you can change (along with a lot of other things) the width factor to 0.8 or whatever to suit.

yup... just use single line text. You can just explode your Multi Line text to get it single line then use Express Tool - TEXT FIT.

You can create a new text style with a smaller width factor and assign that to the mtext. That should do it without resorting to exploding the text & using single line text.

in autocad 2005 you may explode mtext object to make it single string text, after exploding it's possible to edit width factor in properties window
