New line separator for user attributes

[george1985]

Is there some special character, which can be used to divide a project or object user attribute text, into different rows/lines?

For example, below shown text:

"This is first row text @ Second row text @ Third row"

Should in single part drawings appear as:

"This is first row text
Second row text
Third row"

I used the "@" character, just as an example.
I tried both VBA and VBscript new line separators ("vbLf", "vbCrLf") but neither worked.

I understand that I can just put each text row into a separate User text:

But this approach will not work, as I already use some of those User text fields for different purposes.

I would be grateful for any kind of help on this line separation charater.
Thank you in advance.

You can but what the special character is i'm not sure?

I copied the line from the line for Management Tools from the CUI box, there is something between the words if you scroll along in the line that makes a new line.

Hi @george1985,

yes, it is possible, you need to use the separator "#Newline", which are normally used in the definition of the part description, after clicking on the special symbol - see red mark:

Example - beam properties (German version):

Result in the drawing (part description):

Disadvantages:
- when using the same values from User attributes in the parts list (BOM) - here example with UserAtt1 in BOM

Therefore, I recommend using the 10 available User attributes, I have not yet encountered a situation where there were not enough of them.

Thank you very much for the detailed replies and advices!
Both @bigcarl5000kg and @mick-CNF !

@bigcarl5000kgindeed, I didn't think on the effect it may have on BOM. Thank you for making a point about this as well.
