AutoCad :: Edit Multiline Text
Mar 22, 2013
I have a situation where I'm adding some text and want to identify the part with a part#. For example Item 1, I want to add a circle to the number one for it to stand out on my text notes.
The same goes for each line item I have for my text note. For example, if I have 5 lines of text notes, I want to be able to put for example a triangle around 1 thru 5 line items.

I've attached screen shot to see what I'm looking to do. By the way used multiline text for my drawing notes.

Running PSE 9 under Mac Snow Leopard.
I have a family photo including many text layers. I'm trying to edit the text in a selected large multi-line text layer. I'm following the steps from the appropriate PSE article, but I always end up creating a new layer and the red/green no-go/go option. I thought I should just be able to double-click the text layer and start editing.

I've recently noticed that my multiline text boxes in old drawings have been splitting themselves into multiple multiline text boxes. They aren't exploding into single line text because it won't let me use the convert command to turn them into multiline because they are already multiline.
I know the dimassoc command can be set to a certain value to cause all dimensions to explode but is there some kind of command that could have change itself and is causing this problem?

I use AutoCAD 2008 LT. I have a problem when trying to use multiline text. The text box will only allow me to write vertically, but when the text is completed, by left clicking on a grip and changing the rotation angle to 0 degrees, it reads horizontally. However, if I try to amend it, vertical text is the result. I do not have this problem with single line text. Whilst it is possible to read vertically, it is time wasting.

I used to have a lisp routine for selecting multiple strings of single line text and converting them to a single multiline text box. I think there was even an express tool in previous versions of CAD to do this. I am in 2011 now, and I can not find a command for this. I would even settle for simply changing single line to multiline without adding multiple strings.

This has been happening intermittently but now seems to be permanent. When I slect the Multiline tool, click to place the text box, then click to place the other corner the box ignores the size I set and snaps to as wide as the screen and one line high. It does this in several different drawings so it is not native to one. If I enter text and deselect I can adjust the handles and alter the text.
I have attached a screen shot to show. It doesn't matter how close or far I am zoomed in on the drawing.
For what it's worth I do not like the way the ribbon panel controls handle text, it usually takes multiple tries to get it to change the text height. I usually resort to using the Properties flyout but that adds mutltple steps to the process.

I am using a multiple line attribute. I insert the block, fill in the text, and adjust the width of the multi-lines text so the lines are longer and there are fewer of them. I save and close the file, then re-open some time later and the width of the multli-ine attribute has reverted back to a different width (shoter) - I am assuming it is the default width that I set to the attribute. Is there a setting to stop this from happening? Is there something I should do when I create the attirbute?

After installing the 2013LT application the Multiline Text Function worked fine, however, now it will not function at all. "Cannot find Shell Program"--is what displays at the Command Line when attempting to create a text box in a file.

Underlining the “single text” and “multiline text”
To underline the “single text”, we use the %%U but this sounds not to work with the “multiline text”!
What I should use to underline the “multiline text”?

I have been using the multiline text quite successfully. When i was playing with inserting tables, i rotated my text in the tables.
Now when i use my multiline test on my plans they also automatically are set up vertically and not horizontally anymore.
Where can i rectify this. On the properties the rotation angle is set at 0 degrees.

Attached is a block that I use a lot. Originally I had two separate single line text attributes for the "title". I modified it to have a single multiline text attribute instead. I want this attributes text box width to stretch along with the line below it, so that long text strings will automatically adjust to single or multiple lines as necessary and not run off the end of the line. As it stands now I have to stretch the line and then adjust the width of the text box to match.
Also it would be nice if the bulk of the text would stay on the bottom line and only the "overflow" would move up to the next line.

Within the enhanced attribute editor dialogue, I am wondering if there is a way to open up the multiline text editor with a keyboard shortcut, vs.. having to mouse click on the open editor box? The reason being, I can quickly fill out attributes that are single line text, but get hemmed up with having to stop and open up the multiline....

I use Autcad Architecure 2010 on my computer.
After I created or made a multiline text, the ribbon in autocad is getting all blurry. None of the icons in the ribbon will work (see attached picture).
I always have to shut down Autocad and restart it to continue my work.

Problem: Create a dynamic block with visibility, use a Multiline Attributes for text entry in to the block. I create multiple lines of text when editing the block in model space. Either with gripping the txt window width or use "Enter" to define multiple lines.... I proceed to edit the block slightly and when I close and save changes......All ML Attributes default to single line text. In turn i have to re-edit all my text.
Bugs like this are extremely painful. No rhyme or reason to them... Looking for a workaround other than using separate attributes for each line of text.

What I want to do is have text edit for single line text to start at the end of a string of text instead of high lighting the entire text. Is it possible to do this?

Home and work computers act differently when I initiate the dimension text edit command. One moves both the text and the dimension lines and the other only moves the text. It doesn't appear to be the dimstyle so I am wondering if it is a setvar.

When will working with multiline attributes get easier? Having to do multiple clicks to get to a place to edit is one thing, but then you have to use multiple clicks to get out of it. Surely Autodesk can make this an easier process. It was great when these were finally added, now they just need to be more user friendly.

I'm getting a little frustrated with the multiline attribute. Every time a place it in a block and save the file, the tag moves to the left when I re-open the block file or try to insert the block in another file. how to stop the tag from moving? FYI Locking the tags position makes no difference.

I've created tags with text below them. The text is a multline attribute. I save the block with the background mask on.
When I add these blocks to multileader styles, that setting is lost and even after creating a multileader, editing the multiline attribute and turning the mask back on, the setting will not save for some reason.
One very noticeable affect of losing the background mask is that when one is editing the multiline attribute AutoCAD leaves the original text visible and overlaying the text that is updating. This makes it nearly impossible to see the edits one is making. One has to set the background mask every time they edit that multileader if they need to change the text in the mutliline attribute.
Using AutoCAD LT 2010.

Is there a way to export text from InDesign to Photoshop and preserve the type as editable text in an area text box, similar to the export to PSD in Illustrator? Designed many web site pages in InDesign, and now need to covert all pages over to Photoshop quickly.

I'm having this strange issue with the Photoshop type tool in Photoshop CS5. It might be, although I'm not sure, a bug. The tool itself is working and lets me add text and edit. But the box that shows up when editing text (and the blinking line that shows where I am in the text) - has gone invisible. I am having this issue in only one document. - I tested the type tool on other documents, and everything was normal. I've looked up shotcuts and hotkeys to check if I've tapped a key or something, but it doesn't appear to be so.
Now about the document; it does have quite the amount of text layers, and a lot of text in them. I've tried resetting the type tool, and I've restarted the program.
When I restart the program, the tool works as it's supposed to - but after editing or adding a new text layer, the editing area is gone again! Is this a bug, or have I touched keys that do odd things?
