MTEXT (Command)

Creates a multiline text object.

Access Methods

Tool Set: Drafting tab > Text panel > Multiline Text.

Menu: Draw > Text > Multiline Text.

Summary

You can create several paragraphs of text as a single multiline text (mtext) object. With the built-in editor, you can format the text appearance, columns, and boundaries.

After you specify the point for the opposite corner the Text Editor visor is displayed which contains text formatting options.

If you specify one of the other options, or if you enter -mtext at the Command prompt, MTEXT bypasses the In-Place Text editor and displays additional Command prompts.
