Topic: MTEXT Jig

[Odoshi]

Hey all,

Just wondering, if there is a way to use a jig to dynamically stretch MTEXT and show the contents reformatting.

Even AutoCAD MTEXT objects do not do this when grip-edited. The box just stretches and after placed, the contents re-format.

I'm looking to stretch some new MTEXT being placed in the drawing via ARX.

Is it doable?

Thanks,

Not sure if how familiar you are with .NET but should be able to port to ObjectARX
here is a .NET example

Yes, I did see that example before. I like the command line options, which I will need also, but was looking for the stretch-ability factor. Kean also has an example on his blog:

It does similar things, too, but no stretching.

I'll keep checking...
