Carriage return in Prospector

I would like to edit a bunch of pipe descriptions via the prospector and would like to include a carriage return to make it multiple lines. Is this doable?

Thank you

Could try shift+enter (works in excel cells so worth a try)

Good suggestion. I thought it might work too, but too bad. I hear 2012 has max width in the lable style - that would be helpful.

Thank you

Have you tried the \X or \P returns? (Caps are necessary)

Yes the max width does help.

With regards to the max width on the label styles, here's something I did with them: http://civil3dplus.wordpress.com/2011/09/11/automatically-adjust-pipe-labels-for-pipe-length/

 

Really cool application of this new option.

I'm aware of the \X (especially to put dimension text above and below the dim line - any other uses for it??) but what does the \P do??

Niether syntax to force a new paragraph works. I don't think this has ever worked.

Same with pipes, alignments & most other objects.

 

This would be a good wishlist item.

The \P pushes the first line up. The \X doesn't work, but \P does... ~ MaryCarriage Returns.png

I tried with parcels yesterday in  2012 and it didn't work. I know I have tried it in many releases w/o success. Go figure. I'll check pipes in 2012 again soon. Thanks Mary.

It is hit and miss,mostly miss, where they work. Very frustrating that the developers didn't use the same text formatting parameters with every type of label.
