Change to multi-line text
This tool converts a long string of relay coil or source/destination
cross-reference text to a multiline text entity (MTEXT). The underlying attribute
value is maintained, but flipped to visible. The MTEXT entity is created at the
same XY location as the underlying attribute. The MTEXT entity updates,
scoots, and behaves as if it is an attribute tied to the component block.
1 Click the arrow on the Component Cross-Reference tool to
access the Change Cross-Reference to Multiple Line Text tool.
2 Click the Change Cross-Reference to Multiple Line Text tool.
3 Select the text string to change.
4 Type a new text string for the selected text.
Use the Text Formatting dialog box to change the text style
and size. You can also right-click and select from the context
menu options.
5 Use the grips or double-click on the text to bring up text
formatting options to reformat the reference string into mul-
tiple lines.
6 Click OK.
Add location codes to components

into a drawing.
