JUSTIFY TEXT TO FULL MARGIN

JUSTIFY TEXT TO FULL MARGIN

Enable full margin justification for the texts. This would allow better presentation of the information in large paragraphs.

Hopefully this will be easily achieved by Autodesk.  

 

Please, please, please add this to the next update of Revit 2019.

Would like to be able to justify regular text on both the left and the right side at the same time.  This would justify the text evenly between margins.  Just like you can in Microsoft word (justified text).  Right now you have to add spaces in your text to get this look which takes forever and messes up anytime to change the text box size.

We don't need this at our company, but it would definitely make the Text functionality more complete (and I've worked for a company that used full justified). Some other needed text features (to eliminate our need for AutoCAD-based general notes):

roman numeral list type, hanging indent, and custom tab stops (for Text)

Strikethrough text formatting

@esatis Eh, be thankful! I didn't think we'd EVER get that... though from the video it looks like there's a bunch of space on the right when it's collapsed. Still don't have it installed yet, so can't confirm. 😞

We need this!!! Un-justified text can be extremely unsightly. Revit drawings would look better across the board if text justification was an option. --

People have given up..... At least revit is on par with Microsoft Notepad.
Hope this gets traction and fixed soon.

This is a very elemental thing... Revit should fix it!

When placing text notes on a sheet it would certainly be nice if the text were both left and right justified as a publisher of a book sets up a page in the book. Would make for a much neater text layout.

Hi, @mreeves_architect ,

Here are some similar Ideas. May I combine yours with these?

Hey its July 2021, this seems like a pretty easy feature to implement. Version 2021 doesn't have it.

My hope was to be able to justify text on the left and right sides like a
book publisher does. Evidently no one knows if this can be done in Revit,
Certainly would make blocks of text look better. I know of no way to get
someone to figure it out.

AuroDesk will never consider adding features unless their market share is affected

This feature Will be awesome.

@mreeves_architect its possible to create the text in Word or AutoCAD, save it as an image, and place the image in your drawing. Clunky and not easily editable I know.  What is entertaining is the feature we're after is right here in this very website. Crazy huh? Another workaround is mentioned by
