    Default turn single line of attribute text into two lines

    I have a block with attribute text in it, i want to allow one of the text attributes to have 2 lines. I have tried checking the "multiple lines" option but the prompt still has one line.

    any ideas?

    You need to adjust the MAtt width box to have wrapping happen automatically. Just the same as with MText.

    thanks,

    although your suggestion did just what i needed, would it be possible to add another section in the attribute prompt for a 'line 2' ?

    thanks again

    No, there is not. Each attribute definition, single- or multi-, has only one prompt.

    You can, from the properties window, use "\P" as a line break in your attribute whenever you want to go to the next line... not sure if that would help though
