The following Enhancement has been raised to our development team for investigation of this idea to be included in a future release of MicroStation.

Enhancement 1110743: Make Text word wrap work without spaces

Make Text word wrap work without spaces

would be nice if word wrap would work without needing spaces. 

we typically do a pen table replacement for the full file path when printing. but the paths are going off the page. word wrap doesnt work most of the time because it only wraps whole words. so if your path does not have a space then word wrap wont work.

maybe a per instance option to set the word wrap to force wrapping to break at whatever the specified width is.

  • Along with fixing the word wrap. I would be nice if bentley would develop an ability like autocad torient to properly orient text instead of using the key-in/rotate or 3rd part active angle assistant to do this.

  • Not only would this be nice, it would also be nice if the text editor works like the one in Autocad!

    We need an editor that acts more like a text real editor where we can type notes and paragraphs without hard returns in there.  We need to be able to grip text and have word wraps decide where the closest space is and go to next line.  We also need to be able to have columns of text in one string.  While we're at it, you need a Justify text alignment that adjusts line spacing so that the left and right columns are uniform.  You guys really need to update the text editor...your main competitor is years ahead in this space.
