Command Description

Converts selected CAD text objects to Multiline text objects. Multiline text objects are smarter and have more flexibility in TBC than simple text objects for drafting purposes.

Note, this is useful for upgrading legacy data (as well as some current data) into TBC Multiline Text so that you can use the Text properties like Bold, Italic, White Out, as well as Grips in TBC to resize, orientate and wrap text on screen.
