Dadgad Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 (edited) If you explode an MTEXT which is displaying as multiple lines, then you will wind up with each line of text as a new TEXT object. If that is not what you want, then stretch out your MTEXT with the grip, until it is displayed on a single line, before you Explode it, then the resulting LONG Text object will be a single item. If you WANT to have a MULTILINE text object, use MTEXT, that is what it is for. I hate TEXT, always use MTEXT.

nestly Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I dunno that EXPLODEing is all that intuitive. Why is it that exploding turns MTEXT into TEXT, but exploding a MLEADER doesn't turn it into a LEADER? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
