Don't wrap text, wrap dim, then undo it.

[JASONM30395]

It's very hard to know what other people will be see as useful.
Back in the mid-80s I read George Head's book "1001 Tips & Tricks ....".
To 90 percent of them I thought "Yes?So? Isn't that the way everybody does it?"
So, things that seem unremarkable, even obvious, may be of great help to others; or may not.

Which is why you post them anyway.

Here are a few of mine;

NOWRAP is the sysvar to regulate text wraping in the editor
\X after the <> in a dim dialog willgive you a cariage return
CRTL+Y is REDO
text can be used to trim

[Glenn Pope]

I use \X and \P alot.

Anything placed after the \X will be placed under the dim line.

\P does a carriage return but keeps it above the dim line.

[mtlynn]

I just tryed the \X an all it did was make a second line above the dim line mot below. What gives.

[Glenn Pope]

Can you post the file so we can look at it.

If the dimtext has been manually moved away from its default position, then the "\x" will only act as a carriage return.

[tommy.huckabee]

i used the \x and it works. thats a really good tip.
thanks

If the dimtext has been manually moved away from its default position, then the "\x" will only act as a carriage return.

command: DIM
Dim: HOME
Select Objects: <select a dimension>

This will retrun the text to it's default position, restoring the ability to have the /x return to the next line.

\P does a carriage return but keeps it above the dim line.

There's no need to type \P...just type return and it will automatically do that.

[J. Grouchy]

command: DIM
Dim: HOME
Select Objects: <select a dimension>

This will retrun the text to it's default position, restoring the ability to have the /x return to the next line.

Or you can select the particular dimensions, right click and select "home text" from the menu items as shown in the attached image...

(PS - the image is from ACAD r2000i...so this is nothing new)

[Scott D Davis]

right click and select "home text"

Thanks for that one! I'm still "Old School" AutoCAD for many things....mainly I'm still a typer, use key-ins and typed commands above all else.
