Edit mtext size (mtextfixed)

[mlepelletier]

In 2005 is there a way to set the size of the mtext in the edit text box

Not the size as in .1

The actual size as displayed on the screen

when you have mtextfixed set to 0 it varies

can I set mtextfixed to 1 and have the display size come up smaller?

MTEXTFIXED System Variable

Controls the appearance of the Multiline Text Editor.

0 Displays both the Multiline Text Editor and the text within it at the size and position of the multiline text object in the drawing. Text too large or too small to be edited is displayed at a minimum or maximum size.

1 Displays the Multiline Text Editor at a fixed position and size based on last use, and displays text in the editor at a fixed height.

Additionally, in 2006 the mtext can be edited in place, which does not adjust the text size.
