 Posted: Wed Mar 19, 2008 2:55 pm Post subject: ZONES NAMES on two lines? |
 |
|
Is there a way, or does anyone have a tool, that enables you to type the ZONE NAME on two seperate lines?
Right now I have a good amount of Zone Names that are just too long for one line and are over running their room boundries. I'd like to be able to split it up into two seperate lines.
Any suggestions?

Tom Waltz's SuperZone can do this. Unfortunately, I don't know where it can be purchased any more -- perhaps you could PM him?

Type "\n" where you want the split (no quotes). You may have to add the same at the beginning of the text below (room #) etc., so not to overwrite.

However -- this doesn't work so good if you are listing the Zones in a schedule (the "\n" appears within the Zone Name)
The nice thing about SuperZone is that you can also have alternative (abbreviated) names and/or different locations of the Zone Stamp dependent on display scale.

Very true. Also, i just realized, if you show calculated area, there's no way to add a line. The text will be overwritten.

Eric Batte's Standardized Template System has a Zone Stamp that does that and more, and he gives it away for free! I'm still using one I modified for my firm YEARS ago! Check it out!

May be this can help. From the Zone_Stamp_02 INT library.
At the origin, i was to answer a question about writting units in superscript (metric).
On the fly, i did an attempt for a multiline zone name. It works flawessly in schedules.
Cheers,
Olivier

Oliver,
Are you saying that the stamp will create two lines in a zone name definition in the schedules?

Sorry, i was unclear, i mean multiple lines in floor plan window only.
In schedules, zone name displays on one line, but is not alterated by the "\n" characters.
I don't know if it is possible, to display zone name on several lines in schedules.
I will give it a try, one day or another.

The schedule behavior is independent of the stamp. Word wrap in schedules is a wish, essential IMO.
