Commands
DDEDIT
Edits single-line text, dimension text, attribute definitions, and feature control
frames.
MTEXT
Creates a multiline text object.
PROPERTIES
Controls properties of existing objects.
System Variables
TEXTFILL
Controls the filling of TrueType fonts while printing.
TEXTQLTY
Sets the resolution tessellation fineness of text outlines.
Specify the Line Spacing Within Multiline Text
Line spacing for multiline text is the distance between the baseline (bottom)
of one line of text and the baseline of the next line of text. The line space
factor applies to the entire multiline text object, not to selected lines.
You can set the spacing increment to a multiple of single line spacing, or as
an absolute distance. Single spacing is 1.66 times the height of the text
characters.
The default line space style, At Least, automatically increases line spacing to
accommodate characters that are too large to fit the line spacing you set for
the multiline text object. Use the other line space style, Exactly, to line up
text in tables.
To ensure that line spacing is identical in multiple multiline text objects, use
Exactly and set the Line Space Factor to the same value in each multiline text
object.
NOTE Using Exactly can cause text in lines located above or below lines with large
font characters to overlap the larger characters.
