tonybolony Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Hey - Im using autocad 2009 Lt and for some reason in a few of our files, the MTEXT grips seem to "float". Specifically, when I stretch the mtext to fit in a particular space the grips don't follow the size of the text box. For example, I have some text that reads "remove existing door". When I stretch the node so that the text reads "remove" on the first line and "existing door" on the second line, the grips stay in a single line format. Now, I know that when you stretch a grip when Ortho is disabled it will do this but these files do it every time. Not really a big issue but quite annoying. Any help would be appreciated. PS. We used to use a full version of Autocad 02 and I could simply explode the MTEXT and then use TEXT2MTEXT to fix it. Cant do that with LT now since it doesnt allow LISP routines.

wannabe Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Does this happen to all 4 of the grips associated with the MTEXT, or is it consistently 1 or 2 of the grips that cause this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonybolony Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 yes - i just checked and no matter which grip i use to stretch, i get the same result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pick the text in question and change the 'model defined height' in Properties. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonybolony Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 i actually keep the properties window open all the time and have tried this option. no matter what height i enter, the problem persists. i thought setting this to zero would be the "default" but doesnt seem to work either. the strange thing is that i can open a file that doesnt have this problem and cut-n-paste the same text and it doesnt have the problem in the other file. so it seems to be a file-by-file setting. ????
