Background Mask Size

Hi,
When I create a multiline text box and turn the background mask on, the vertical size of the background mask remains as per the size I created the text box initially. In other words it does not grow or shrink as more lines of text are added or lines of text are removed. Also, there are no grab handles on the text box that would allow me to change the vertical size manually.

Bug or am I missing something?

  • Hi Jamie,

    I have already raised a Support Request on this (SR32759). This issue arrises in that Bricscad V12 works differently with MTEXT from AutoCAD. Was adviced if you zero the height (not text height) of the MTEXT box, then Bricscad displays correctly. The attached lisp routine allows you to select MTEXT and zero the textbox height.

    Ideally in Bricscad you would be able to define both the height and width of a text box. The ability to do so looks to be there, it just hasn't been exposed to the interface.
