Controling Spacing Between Lines of Text

[dgraue]

With wraparound text, can the distance between lines of text be controlled? Current settings put too much space between the first and second lines of text and I'd like to reduce that.

you and me both! i am just happy to have a width factor... Unless I am mistaken you will have to break it into separate lines. Where critical, consider using an annotation family with text lines whose distance you control in the family.

Good idea, I'll give that a try.

The other place I see needing the ability to reduce space between lines is when you create a title sheet. The Label created for Sheet Name needs to provide for longer options (two and three lines occationally). For example, a sheet may say "Building B Core #2 Enlarged Plans & Sections" which would need three lines of text within the confines of the Title Block.

I can't stand the inability to control the spacing between lines of text.

case in point is the drawing index, where our drawings come in a nice schedule with a set spacing. our consultants drawings are still done in deadCAD and we therefore have to type in the list. the means two different looking lists. they have the same font, size and everything, but one is spaced out (revits) and the other is closer together (manually typed in list)

it SUCKS! there needs more text handling options!

I know, its so ATARI... been thinking the same thing for about 4 years now...

We just put blank sheets into our file. That way they go right into the schedule.

not a bad idea at all.. thx..

though its sad to see everyone agrees that the text tool still lacks alot of usability/function

Rob, stop complaining and work :-)
Annotation family is the way to go
