MTEXTFIXED (System Variable)

Sets the display size and orientation of multiline text in the In-Place Text Editor.

Type: Integer
Saved in: Registry
Initial value: 2

Changes to this system variable affect the Always Display as WYSIWYG setting of the In-Place Text Editor.

0 or 1

Zooms the drawing to the extents of the multiline text object's bounding box when the text in the In-Place Text Editor is difficult to read (very small or large, or is rotated). The displayed text does not represent the text object's final size and position.

If the text object is rotated, the drawing view is temporarily rotated to match the orientation of the text object while it is being edited. Smooth view transitions are used when the drawing view is zoomed or rotated.

2

The text within the In-Place Text Editor is displayed at its actual size and position. The display of the drawing is not zoomed or rotated, which might make it difficult to edit very small or large text objects.

If the text object is rotated, the text object and not the drawing view is temporarily rotated while it is being edited.
