Setting Multiline Attribute

[Anonymous]

When I manually enter the attribute, it comes up with 3 different data entry options but when I look at the attribute in .NET it shows IsMTextAttribute = FALSE.

What is the best way to set the multiline block attribute?

I don't know if the way I have been updating my multiline attributes is the best way to go about it.  I have probably taken some ideas from here and there.  My biggest problem was find a way to display imperial dimensions, like say 12'-3 3/4" properly formatted with diagonal fractions.  I had to format the string prior to assign it to the contents of the mtext.  Here is how I have been doing it.  I hope it gives you some ideas and perhaps other people will suggest better ways.

If Att.IsMTextAttribute = True Then

	Mtxt = Att.MTextAttribute

	Mtxt.Contents = "Test"

	Att.MTextAttribute = Mtxt

	Att.UpdateMTextAttribute()

End If

My problem is that the attribute has IsMTextAttribute = FALSE therefore, it would never do the logic inside your If statement.
