Hi,
in some of our (old) files there had been placed text/textnodes by using the method „line break“.If I have to edit these texts it is not possible to enlarge the textbox and to enter further text within a line.The ruler in the text editor is fixed.
Is it possible to “unlock” the ruler to enter some more words in a line or to define a different width of the text box (textnode)?
Thanks,Petra

doesnt work for me if was done with word wrap or copied from autocad with fixed width multiline text...
When I check the line length its already 255 ...otherwise we'd use the keyin LL=255 to fix this...

this acts today as if the author has used word wrap and often acad copied text does this too..
if you select the text so you can see handles ( FYI handles must be enabled in power
selector some people turn them off) select and then drag the top corner handle, I like the top right one , hold down and drag data button of the mouse and the dashed word wrap boundary extends and your text moves accordingly ... (BTW be careful if you pick the wrong handles you will stretch the size of the text ie make text bigger and not what you wanted) ....
then you can type in the extra text, or just type in the extra text first and then use the drag handle like I suggested until it is long enough or refits the text to show the text the way you want ie two lines etc
here is silent video of how I do this .. much easier when you see it done... copy paste the link below into any browser and observe the steps .. you can pause and resume and try your own until you get it working in your file .. enjoy...
