MTEXT Bulleting Issue when Indenting

Anonymous

I'm using AutoCAD 2017 and when using bullets in the MTEXT I get this result when trying to tab:

I could not find an indent button anywhere in the editor or the ribbon.

 

Appreciate any help!

I assume that you don't want any bullets in front of "Add". Just put your cursor there and turn off bulleting.bullets off.png

Hello! Thank you for your reply!

 

I would like to have bullets for all lines, including the indented ones.

I don't understand. You never really stated what the problem is. The picture you showed has bullets on all lines.

Ed,

Fair point 🙂

The issue for me is that it displays two (2) bullets when the text is indented (red circle on image in original post). I don't remember this behavior when using previous versions; not sure why it does this. I want to emulate a word processor where I can indent and still have a bullet.

Most bulleting/outlining also indicates the level of indenting. In a word processor, you can change the style of bulleting. But AutoCAD's mtext editor is not as advanced. It just has the one style of bulleting. I suppose you could turn off bulleting for that line and insert a special character instead of the bullet. Personally, I don't mind the two bullets. It distinguishes the line.
