AcDbMText word wrap

Anonymous — Thu, 29 Sep 2005 00:44:48 GMT

The automatic word wrap doesn't seem to work for me. If the line is too long, it just vanished, not display at all. Do I need to specifically set the word wrap?

If you read the docs, it says:

An MTEXT object is a multiline text entity that stores a specified line
width and performs
>>> automatic word wrap <<<
to keep the text within this width boundary.

There must be somthing you do wrong, but we cant say what if we don't se the
code fragment.

Thanks Rex, code fragment below:

m_ptext = new AcDbMText();
m_ptext->setTextHeight(txtActHeight); // non-zero
m_ptext->setWidth(width); // non-zero
m_ptext->setAttachment(AcDbMText::kBottomLeft);
m_ptext->setDatabaseDefaults(acdbHostApplicationServices()->workingDatabase());
m_ptext->setLocation(pt); // somewhere
m_ptext->setContents("some text here longer than the width");
pt[1] += m_ptext->actualHeight() + spacing;
m_ptext->setContents("some more text");
m_ptext->worldDraw(mode);
