    At Basecamp I was standing with Solo and someone told him that in addition to being able to add text to a dimension, he explained how to make the text more than one line. But I can't remember what he said to do. 😳

    Pete? πŸŽ‰

      Hi Bob,

      When you edit a dimension or text type \n to jump to the next line.

      for example, 31.5cm \n Bob James would read

      31.5cm
      Bob James

        Super: Just what I was looking for.
        Really great to hear from you Rich πŸ‘

        Don't you still need the <>?

        I went, I read, but I didn't see what you are referring to. (Hidden clue??) (Is this an Irish thing πŸ˜† )

          Hi Bob,

          The 31 cm \n Bob would not be a dynamically associated dimension any more (i.e. if you change the size of what you dimensioned, it would not change).

          That's what the <> is for. So instead of typing in the 31 cm value, type
          <> \n Bob to keep it dynamically associated.

          Gai...

              looks like Dr.Csaba beat me too it! As for the link, it shows me a tip on the bottom of the page that says.....

              Tip: Type \n followed by a space to start a new line of text (Microsoft Windows)

              No hidden clues, no secret agenda, like i said, you never stop learning... πŸ˜‰

              Great to hear from you too Bob. Hope you're keeping well. How's the job in Area 51 going? Oooops, have i let the cat outta the bag!

                And so I learnt it from Wodan (I think - or someone else...)?

                  Honest, Rich, when I clicked on the link it did not take me to the "real" link 😳
