Can't do multiline text in my multileader

Anonymous — Fri, 09 Jun 2017 09:26:45 GMT

Hello,

I have a problem with my multileader.

I lost the little grip to modify the width of my text when it should be on differents lignes.

If my text is very long it is on a single line and if I want it on 2 or 3 lignes I have to press enter where I want it to go to the next line.

We have a template drawing and my colleague still can see the grip to modify the text so I think I must have one of the settings on the wrong option.

Hope you will understand what I am talking about!

Thanks

Marielle

confirm your Mleaderstyle is set to use MTEXT in the content tab of the mleaderstyle you are using.

after placing the mleader text if you doubleclick to enter the text editor you can drag the double arrow to set your text box width.

now you wont have to pick enter to adjust your text box

Hi,

i suggest to check that GRIPS system variable set t 2 . in addition that your multileader type content select to Mtext.

Multileader type is set to Mtext and grips set to 2 and it still doesn't work.
For some reason I lost the double arrows allowing to set my text box.

If I open the drawing on someone else computer it works so it must be one off my settings.

I have tried to restart by the way 😉

After double clicking the multileader to start text editing try pressing the ruler button on the ribbon.

Start a blank new file: still have this problem?

It was that little ruller! Never had to use it so never noticed it.

Thank you very much user 181, it was driving me mad!

Have a good day

You're welcome.

This solved it. I must have clicked that Ruler button off. Thanks!
