Carriage return in a label style

I want to add a structures description to a style but the description is longer than I'd like in the plan. Is it possible to break it with a return character? I guess I can always go through an manually edit, but if I didn't have to that would be cool.

Thank you

Add the carriage return to the description for the part:

Once you change one, select the text in the description shown above, close the dialog. Select another that needs updating, select similar, in the properties palette choose the description, paste the copied description text to the text windwo provided. All will get updated.

Joe,

 

I'm not sure if it's 2011 or 2012 when it was added, but there is a maximum label width that works pretty good.

That's a 2012 feature, Bruce. Definitely more handy than having to edit the descriptions.

I like that max width. Until 2012 I'l do it manually. Smiley Frustrated
