Andy G Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 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?? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alan Cullen Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 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.

JBullseye74 Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JessB Posted July 27, 2006 Share Posted July 27, 2006 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. hth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davies65 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 In acad2006 theres a button on the right in the mtext formatting panel to control the text width. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starodub Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
