Text Formatting Toolbar Missing Functions

grega_robic — Mon, 27 Jan 2025 19:49:07 GMT

I have blocks which have text attributes. In these text attributes a lot of times I need superscript and subscript text. However, the Autocad LT 2025 appears to have these functions missing in text formatting toolbar when editing text attributes. The functions are there when editing normal text object, i.e. not text attribute. How can I get superscript and subscript in text attributes?

This is the toolbar I get when editing normal text:

And this is the toolbar I get when editing text attribute:

Try changing those attribute definitions from the regular single line text by checking the toggle box for multiline text. Now when you edit multiline attributes you should see the larger text editing toolbar with the superscript and subscript options

I have multiple lines option checked and it's greyed out. The blocks were created with older version, I believe LT 2019.

@grega_robic You'll need to share your DWG with that block/attributes in it here please.

Attached is the example of a block in dwg. In this block I would like to keep "200" as subscript but maybe change the content to "300". It changes to regular text size if I try to edit this text attribute.

Hi,

"when editing normal text object"

You means MTEXT, not TEXT

(Btw: MultilineAttributes doesn't have the full ability like MTEXT)

Change your ATTIPE setting[F1]

Thank you all for quick help! Setting ATTIPE to 1 is what I needed.
