Topic: Ribbon display name text help

[XXL66]

Not lisp but don't no where else to post.

I have custom CUI files with ribbons with large button + text.
When i add a longer text display name in BricsCAD this is automatically split into 2 lines, in acad it is not, so buttons get too large.
I ACAD the text isn't, but when checking the settings of a button with a double text line in ACAD using customize dialog, this text is even without spaces, but it is split ?
How is this achieved ?

I of course would like to avoid having to make 2 cui's, one for bcad and another for acad. Btw i tried a \n which works in acad but this \n is show in the text in bcad... so this is not a solution for my problem.

who can help me ?

ty !

A trick that sometimes works in cases like this is to copy and paste a newline character. Start Notepad, press <Enter> one time, press <Ctrl>-A to select it, <Ctrl>-C to copy it to the clipboard, then paste it into your label text in the CUI editor.

The \r works in acad but it is displayed in the text in BricsCAD...

Throwing darts here but have you tried \P & \X

Just tried \P

It seems that bcad doesn't interpret it as formatted text. The characters are just displayed in between the text.
I filed a SR at Bcad.

Maybe directly editing the .cui and using

Code: [Select]


will work.
Untested.

thx Roy,

i cannot work (tested it), because Bcad confirmed currently formatted text is not supported, they are going to fix this tho.
