SHCanada2 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 I looked in the forums for underline, and surprisingly only 2 pages of topics are returned. Anywho, the CA underlining always has the line directly under, and touching the text. Is there a way to have a gap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisb222 Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 It does not touch the text for me, in plan or layout, Arial on a Mac. I also tried a couple different fonts, no thouchie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug_N Posted April 1 Share Posted April 1 Rich text and just underline the characters not the spaces. This would be a good feature for CA to implement though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SHCanada2 Posted April 2 Author Share Posted April 2 i can get a little bit of clearance by picking another font, but it is still tiny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHCanada2 Posted April 2 Author Share Posted April 2 well found, what I could only describe as a classic work around and reminds me of the 90s typing ____ in places. The below is for font size 9" 1.don't underline the text 2. put a bunch of spaces underneath on the next line and underline those and reduce font size(in my case I set to 7). (and adjust number of spaces to match word above) 3. Set user specified line height for the above to be 35% (if you do not change the font size to be lower per above, it looks like you cannot specify lower numbers for this property. Mine kept going back to 35 even if I type 10 or 15). I.e. if you keep step 2. at 9" size, it looks like it can only get so close vertically to the text above it. looks much prettier...but still there must be a better way ...maybe it is a side effect of having my windows display at 150%...like the old text wrap issue form a couple years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, that looks much better, I'd like the ability to specify the underline offset, and the line weight. 10 hours ago, SHCanada2 said: but still there must be a better way https://chieftalk.chiefarchitect.com/forum/8-suggestions/ Good luck!

richoffan Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 Less convenient than your suggestion BUT a quicker work around is to use a CAD line. Gives you complete control of the line and it can be blocked to the text. Can be on it's own layer also. Just remember to turn off fill pr bring the line to the front: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug_N Posted April 2 Share Posted April 2 I really don't understand the problem. CA can do text both ways, at least if you use richtext. For the library user, I think he should do an early withdrawal on his request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
