My company skipped 2017 and just upgraded from 2016 to 2018 and have this text wrapping issue. Is there something we can do in this situation? Thanks!

Any feedback is welcome!

@Dougp

They changed the font size measurement since Revit 2017. If you open a 2016 file in 2017 or newer, you have to reduce the text heights a tiny bit in order to maintain the existing text wrapping.

My recommendation is keep 2016 projects in 2016 and start new projects fresh in 2018 or 2019.

16 to 17 was the text issue change. I found a quicker fix than selecting each text box. From memory i selected a text box, then selected all instances of that type. I think i then did a small pull on that that text box to widen it. Then click out. Something like that worked for me and did it to all etxt boxes in that view of that type at once. Sorry i can i cant remember exactly, but give it a try.
