I was going through and fixing some symbol Line Spacing Factors on my symbols using the new feature added in the SE Beta and I thought, "It sure would be great if the Entity Properties Editor were persistent." I could then go around clicking on my symbols without having to go through the Ctrl+Right Click menu every time. It could also be useful in changing MText & PText factors when you have many to do.

Have you tried double-clicking on the entity or symbol?

I have and I like that feature, but symbols and xrefs i have set to default to symbol editor and xref manager. Also, when changing a large number of MText and PText line factors it becomes tedious having to double-click to open properties, click on factor, change it then hit ok and start the next one. Just a wish to be able to have the properties open, click an entity and the properties box would update with that entities properties.

Lemme see what I can do.

I've never met you Dave, but I imagine you look something like this...

"Your wish is my command."

Thanks again for just being awesome!

Oooo I like where this is heading, good one Wade.

Why not (maybe also) add under the Change/Text a Line Factor item to change?
Or add that to the Font Dialog box so you can either set it there, or change/text/font/factor.
Oh, the factor is in the box, but you can not select it in the change box.

For standard Text, changing the Factor (after the fact) just ain't possible. For PText/MText, yep I can likely do that. That's the best I can do folks.

Adding the Factor to the Change Text menu would be a great addition. I understand that it can only work on PText & MText. If I have regular text that needs to be multiple lines I often convert it to PText for ease of use anyways.

Thanks Dave.

Just as an FYI: The Factor can be changed for MText/PText via the Properties dialog.

That's all we ask for, the best that you can do, and many times you surprise us and surpass doing your best.
