Editing MText width factor - multiple

Brian_FarrellFXCFE — Tue, 01 Jul 2025 18:19:24 GMT

How can I select multiple M Text entities and change the width factor on all of them at once? I can select multiple regular Text entities, and the WIDTH FACTOR shows in the properties panel, and I can assign a width factor to all of them. But not so with MTEXT. Is the only way to adjust width factor for MTEXT, to double click on it to activate the MTEXT text editor so the width factor can be changed? But that is one at a time. I would really like to be able to do this globally.

Yes, no doubt because there is the option to change the width factor of only a portion of an Mtext object's content, or even different portions at different width factors.

If you want to change the width factor over the entire contents of multiple Mtext objects that do not currently have any width factor(s), that could probably be automated.
