Creates multi-line paragraphs that fit within a paragraph width boundary. Each multiline text object is a single object, regardless of the number of lines it contains.

  1. Select the first point of the text, then a second point to define the paragraph width and angle. You can also use the Inspector Bar to enter the width and angle.
  2. The Character window opens, in which you can define the text properties that will be active for multi text created from now on. (You can change these properties mid-text.) These properties are explained below. Font: Sets the color and font type. The "B" icon creates bold text, the "I" icon creates italics, and the "U" icon underlines the text. Text Height: Sets the height of the tallest letter. The "X" icon enables you to set the height as a factor of the current height. Symbols: While entering the text, you can insert a degree, plus/minus, or "phi" (angle) symbol. The last icon is used to insert a fraction. The center three icons are used for top, center, or bottom Justification. Import / Save: Once text is created, you can Save it as a .txt file. This text can later be inserted elsewhere by clicking Import.
  3. To create the text, simply start typing. The text will start where you defined the first text point. You can enter line breaks manually, and breaks will be created by word-wrapping, according to the paragraph width you set.
  4. In the Inspector Bar or local menu, select Finish when the text is complete.
