While defining a user description, you can apply formatting by introducing format codes, i.e. the mechanisms available in AutoCAD®. To apply formatting, format codes presented in the table below should be used.
Format codes for paragraphs
Format code Purpose
\0...\o Turns overline on and off
\L...\l Turns underline on and off
\~ Inserts a nonbreaking space
\\ Inserts a backslash
\{...\} Inserts an opening and closing brace
\Cvalue; Changes to the specified color
\File name; Changes to the specified font file
\Hvalue; Changes to the text height specified in drawing units
\Hvaluex; Changes the text height to a multiple of the current text height
\S...^...; Stacks the subsequent text at the \, # or ^ symbol
\Tvalue; Adjusts the space between characters, from .75 to 4 times
\Qangle; Changes obliquing angle
\Wvalue; Changes width factor to produce wide text
\A Sets the alignment value; valid values: 0, 1, 2 (bottom, center, top)
\P Ends paragraph
Multiline text objects use word wrap to break long lines into paragraphs. For AutoCAD® to break lines automatically and not to create a new paragraph, the line should end with either a backslash (\) or a space character.
