Creating Multiline Plain Texts

To insert multiline plain text, start the Text command and proceed as follows (for details about inserting single line texts, see Creating Single Line Texts; for details about inserting multiline formatted texts, see Creating Multiline Formatted Texts).
 

1 Select the Multiline Mode check box. The Text dialog box will be displayed in which you can type the text. Please note that:
  • Each blank you type in will be taken into account (for example, if you type a sequence of three blanks, the final text will contain three blanks)
  • Pressing the ENTER key will open a new line
  • TAB characters will be ignored.

The complete multiline text length cannot exceed 4096 characters.


2 Select OK. The text shows up, locked to the cursor, and follows the movements of the mouse.
3 To change the angle of the text relative to the X-axis, measured counterclockwise, type its value into the Angle box and press the ENTER or TAB key.
4 To change the height of the characters, type the new value into the Height box and press the ENTER or TAB key.
5 Specify the point where you want to position the text.


The "Plane" option ...
... enabling you to select the placement plane, is available only if you are working in the 3D environment (Model).

In the 3D environment, you can choose one of the following placement planes:
W.Plane to create the text on the current Work Plane
View to create the text on the view plane
World to create the text on the XY axis of the world reference system.
