Properties

attachmentPoint

attachmentPoint: DwgAttachmentPoint

Attachment point:

  • 1: Top left
  • 2: Top center
  • 3: Top right
  • 4: Middle left
  • 5: Middle center
  • 6: Middle right
  • 7: Bottom left
  • 8: Bottom center
  • 9: Bottom right

backgroundFill

backgroundFill: number

Background color (if RGB color)

backgroundFillColor

backgroundFillColor: number

Background fill color (optional): Color to use for background fill when 'backgroundFill' is 1.

backgroundFillTransparency

backgroundFillTransparency: number

Transparency of background fill color (not implemented)

Optionalcolor

color?: number

A 24-bit color value that should be dealt with in terms of bytes with values of 0 to 255. The lowest byte is the blue value, the middle byte is the green value, and the third byte is the red value. The top byte is always 0. The group code cannot be used by custom entities for their own data because the group code is reserved for AcDbEntity, class-level color data and AcDbEntity, class-level transparency data

OptionalcolorIndex

colorIndex?: number

Color number (present if not BYLAYER); zero indicates the BYBLOCK (floating) color; 256 indicates BYLAYER; a negative value indicates that the layer is turned off (optional)

OptionalcolorName

colorName?: string

Color name. The group code cannot be used by custom entities for their own data because the group code is reserved for AcDbEntity, class-level color data and AcDbEntity, class-level transparency data

columnAutoHeight

columnAutoHeight: number

columnFlowReversed

columnFlowReversed: number

columnGutter

columnHeights

columnHeights: number[]

columnType

columnType: number

columnWidth

columnWidth: number

direction

direction: DwgPoint3D

X-axis direction vector (in WCS)

drawingDirection

drawingDirection: DwgMTextDrawingDirection

Drawing direction:

  • 1: Left to right
  • 3: Top to bottom
  • 5: By style (the flow direction is inherited from the associated text style)

extentsHeight

extentsHeight: number

Vertical height of the mtext entity (read-only, ignored if supplied)

extentsWidth

extentsWidth: number

Horizontal width of the characters that make up the mtext entity. This value will always be equal to or less than the value of 'rectWidth' (read-only, ignored if supplied)

OptionalextrusionDirection

extrusionDirection?: DwgPoint3D

Extrusion direction (optional; default = 0, 0, 1)

fillBoxScale

fillBoxScale: number

Fill box scale (optional): Determines how much border there is around the text.

handle

handle: number

Handle

insertionPoint

insertionPoint: DwgPoint3D

Insertion point

OptionalisInPaperSpace

isInPaperSpace?: boolean

lineSpacing: number

Mtext line spacing factor (optional): Percentage of default (3-on-5) line spacing to be applied. Valid values range from 0.25 to 4.00

lineSpacingStyle

lineSpacingStyle: number

Mtext line spacing style (optional):

  • 1: At least (taller characters will override)
  • 2: Exact (taller characters will not override)

OptionallineType

lineType?: string

Linetype name (present if not BYLAYER). The special name BYBLOCK indicates a floating linetype (optional)

OptionallineTypeScale

lineTypeScale?: number

Linetype scale (optional)

Optionallineweight

lineweight?: number

Lineweight enum value. Stored and moved around as a 16-bit integer.

OptionalmaterialObjectHardId

ownerBlockRecordSoftId

ownerBlockRecordSoftId: number

Soft-pointer ID/handle to owner BLOCK_RECORD object

OptionalownerDictionaryHardId

ownerDictionaryHardId?: string | number | boolean

Hard-owner ID/handle to owner dictionary (optional)

OptionalownerDictionarySoftId

ownerDictionarySoftId?: string | number | boolean

Soft-pointer ID/handle to owner dictionary (optional)

OptionalplotStyleHardId

plotStyleHardId?: string

Hard-pointer ID/handle to the plot style object

OptionalproxyByte

proxyByte?: number

Number of bytes in the proxy entity graphics represented in the subsequent 310 groups, which are binary chunk records (optional)

OptionalproxyEntity

proxyEntity?: string

Proxy entity graphics data (multiple lines; 256 characters max. per line) (optional)

OptionalrectHeight

rectHeight?: number
