TIP: New line in text fields

Hello,

Here's one small text field tip which might be helpful;

Text in the ID-field etc. can be divided into multiple lines using '\n' as a separator, '\t' works as a tab.

Wow, nice find!!! (just checking, it works for Zones too. Too bad the text over-runs the rest of the symbol))

It would be even better if that did not show up in schedules and such!

My son often says I suffer from the odd "senior moment". Well if memory serves me correctly there used to be an "tip of the month" award.

Well I vote that Juha gets it for Nov.

And thanks to Marc also.

Just tried it and without doubt a bloody beaut tip

you guys do realise that this is probably just a text-field bug that got through the system? i'll guarantee it gets "fixed" in the next version!

It's always worked in Section markers, for manually placing sheet number in bottom of marker. A natural progression from that perhaps?

It has been part of the GDL code for a long time, see page 22 for "Strings" in the ArchiCAD 10 GDL Reference Guide.

Hi,

I was coding an object and pasted (by accident )
the GDL-clipboard into the ID-field.
