EDITING MULTILINE TEXT

This portion of the TXTEDT command edits multiline text (Mtext). When you edit Mtext you exit the TXTEDT command and run AutoCAD's multiline text editor. This means that once you have finished editing the Mtext you are no longer in the TXTEDT command but are in AutoCAD's DDEDIT command.

User configurable options: none

Known limitations:

• Since once you have edited Mtext you are no longer in the TXTEDT command but in AutoCAD's DDEDIT command you will only be able to edit standard text, multiline text (Mtext), attribute definitions, and dimension text.

• Submit a limitation not listed.

Alternate uses:

• None reported. If you have an alternate use for this command submit it here.
