Dealing with small closets

This command has a built in feature that allows it to compensate for small closets where the text would not fit inside. 

The configuration for this command allows you to enter the width of the widest piece of text (in this case "Rod & Shelf") and if the closet width is smaller than this value it will enter the specified "smaller" text. See "PANTRY" Command in the Floor Plan Cmds section of the APS Configuration Utility.
