Topic: Mtext {\\Format Codes } ?

[snownut2]

There is a list of Mtext codes similar to;

Code: [Select]

(setq sampletxt "{\\C2;\\LEnter Text Here}")

That causes the Text Line to have the desired format.

The above code will make the line "Underlined Yellow text" for example.

Unfortunately I can not locate a list of these codes (I should have saved them the last time I found them...)

Any ideas or links to this would be appreciated.

The documentation offers this, but I'm not convinced that its a complete reference.

Haven't had coffee yet, but would this be useful?

Thanks Lee, just what I was looking for.

I've been trying to Left justify some text lines and Center others to no avail....
This does not appear to be do-able.

One thing you can do is create the formatting manually then select the MText and look at the Contents property displayed in Property Palette.





From Developer Documentation:

MText.Contents Property
Accesses the character contents of the MText object. Formatting data used for word wrap calculations is removed before the string is copied.

MText.Text Property
Accesses the MText contents with formatting removed
