Multiline Text Example

This example demonstrates creating multiline text elements with layer-based colors. It shows how to define multiline text using an insertion point, string content (with newlines), height, and a bounding box width.

using CadSDK;
using CadSDK.Elements;
using CadSDK.Enums;
using CadSDK.Geometry;
using System.Numerics;

// Create a drawing session
var session = new DrawingSession
{
    ExportFormat = ExportFormat.DWG,
    CadVersion = CadVersion.Cad2018
};

// Define layers
var mtextLayer = new Layer { Name = "TestLayer_MText", ColorARGB = AciColors.Cyan };
session.AddLayer(mtextLayer);

// Multiline text using layer color
var mtext = new MultilineText(
    insertionPoint: new Vector3(100, 220, 0),
    textString: "Multiline Text\nusing Layer Color\nspanning multiple lines.",
    height: 4f,
    rectWidth: 40f)
{
    Alignment = TextAlignment.TopCenter,
    LineSpacingFactor = 1.5f,
    LayerName = mtextLayer.Name
};
session.AddElement(mtext);

// Export the drawing
// You can signup and get your free API key
string apiKey = "your-api-key"; // Get your free API key from the dashboard
string outputPath = "drawing.dwg";
await session.ExportAndSaveAsync(apiKey, outputPath);

Key Points

Multiline text elements are defined by an insertion point, text string (can contain \n for newlines), height, and a bounding box width (RectWidth).
The Alignment property controls the text block's alignment relative to its insertion point.
LineSpacingFactor adjusts the spacing between lines of text.
Each multiline text element is assigned to a specific layer for organization.
The multiline text's color is inherited from its assigned layer.
