|
autocad_text_size |

|
autocad_mtext_string |
The original formatted mtext string. Writer will use this attribute’s value to set the destination mtext entity. When performing an AutoCAD-to-AutoCAD translation, this attribute will ensure that the exact formatting is carried over to the destination. Range: char[1024] Default: None |

|
autocad_mtext_ref_rect_width |
The width of the reference rectangle in which the text is contained. This width is the maximum length of any line on the mtext before it will wrap. If not specified when writing, this will be calculated based on the text length. To disable this with and the related word wrapping, set this value to 0. Range: A positive 64-bit floating point number |
