Ideally I need to get the text into <BR /> all lines and arcs but if I had to splines would work too. Any suggestions.</T></DIV> Mon, 14 Jul 2008 23:12:16 GMT https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Making-text-into-line-work/m-p/127680#M13483 Anonymous 2008-07-14T23:12:16Z https://community.graphisoft.com/t5/Collaboration-with-other/Making-text-into-line-work/m-p/127681#M13484 You could try the Text 3D object in the Archicad Library, place it in plan view with rotation around X set to 0, and Show view in 2D under the 2D Representation tab set to ON (and increase 3D resolution if necessary), then explode the object.
