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.
- 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.

- 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. ![](https://turbocaddoc.atlassian.net/wiki/download/thumbnails/538955/worddav3ca693105fa74e726dffcffd3fd724b5.png?version=1&modificationDate=1343237094387&cacheVersion=1&api=v2&width=63)
- 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.
