For example, if the layout name was ‘Ground Floor Plan’, the text object would only display the ‘G’? Thanks in advance<BR /> <BR /> Kind Regards,<BR /> Michael</T></DIV> Mon, 22 Oct 2012 00:15:31 GMT Anonymous 2012-10-22T00:15:31Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Libraries-objects/Autotext-Object/m-p/205494#M14523 <DIV class="actalk-migrated-content"><T>Hi,<BR /> <BR /> I am just wondering if there is an object that can reference a layout name (or any autotext for that matter) but only show the first character of that layout name?
