Scaling multiline text, issue with width
Hi all,
I am required to amend a drawing from the client. They want the text format to stay the same. As we work in mm I need to scale the drawing down by 1000. This isn't a problem generally but multiline text acts strangely. The text scales down fine but the width of the text box seems to remain the same.
Why is this? And can this be changed? I can't seem to change the width other than dragging the outter most grip.

Hi,
what happens if you create a new drawing, then _INSERT the client's drawing as block with scalefactor needed (if the drawing's units settings does not scale itself) and then run command _EXPLODE, does that work?

MTEXT many also have manual overrides inside each MTEXT object: you must strip all override settings/formatting from them too.

The only way to have the text boxes scale is to have the MTEXT set to either no columns or static colmumns, neither of which would probably work for you if the formating has to stay the same. One other thought that might work for you is to use the UNITS command and change the insertion scale to nonameters before you insert their dwg. That will bring the dwg in already scaled down by 1000 and the text boxes will be right.
