    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/member_profile.asp?PF=183771">germanbarry</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 6810<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 27.Oct.2011 at 09:45<br /><br /><P>This might be a long shot / i doubt Autocad has this feature, but i thought I'd ask anyway...</P><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>when creating MText and needing a background mask, I often have multiple lines of text, however I often cannot manage to justify the text evenly on each line of text (i.e. so that each line has the same length of text)</DIV><DIV>this results in a BGM which has an annoying empty space which blocks out the background xrefs/objects. See this&nbsp;<a href="http://forums.autodesk.com/autodesk/attachments/autodesk/407/19231/1/MT%20BGM%20problem.JPG" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">link</A> for an example (the dotted rectangle is blocking the white polyline behing the MText - e.g. i want to be able to see the corner point of the white polyline without moving the MText).</DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>I am aware i can get around this by having TWO/multiple independent MText entities (one for each row of text) and applying a hugged BGM to each MText, but this is not practical, especially when having 3+ rows of text!</DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>ideally..... there would be a new feature/BGM alternative which would <strong>hug each word/character</strong> rather than the entire 4 corners of the MText box.</DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>i hope i explained this clearly enough. let me know if i can/can't apply my ideal solution any way (or at least a solution that is better than the mentioned work-around)!</DIV>]]>
