Fitting MText to Textbox
« on: July 07, 2005, 09:48:22 PM »
Have you ever witnessed this scenario - you create some textboxes with mtext then need to change the height of the text?  No fun!  When you resize the mtext, the textbox doesn't shrink with it. . . i thought I was forever doomed in the doldrums of despondent textbox resizing, until <dahdahdahDAAAAH> I realized you can set the width to 0 and the textbox will resize itself according to the text size!  I suppose you all knew that, but I was too excited not to post.

Well, at least remember those times when you were still picking CAD up, and you did something WRONG for a long time. . . back when you were still a newt.  But then, you made a breakthrough, and you found a better way to do something - remember that moment?  Relish that.  Mmmmm.  Perspiration gives way to innovation.  The more I learn, the lazier I can work and still produce the same amount.  I call it the laziness factor.

Necessity was never the mother of invention, "lazy" is.

Ain't that the truth. How else can I spend time in here and never be late on any project?
