Title: Element properties name: forced line break?
Post by: DPMiddleton on August 31, 2014, 07:08:56 pm

Is it possible to create a forced line break in the element properties name? For example by typing Alt-Enter to create a new line as in MS Excel.

I would like to make a consistent and clear distinction between the first, second and third line.

Cheers,

Dave

Only with a script. The browser will show a rectangular box where you inserted the line break. Ugly, but shows in diagram as you like it.

You can add line-break wite the following steps, but there are some problems (e.g. generationg document) since it is not assumed.

1. select target object in a diagram and press F2
2. move cursor where you want to add line-break
3. press Ctrl+Enter

I remember some type of objects can not accpet this operation.
