Fit method for a cell

[jerry1423]

I have a bit of a problem understanding "fit methods", for either parts list or tables.

Upon selecting a cell, and going into "style", and then into "fit methods", I have a couple of them toggled on and in a particular order.

What I would like to do is "auto size" the text until it reaches a certain aspect ratio and then "wrap" the text if the line of text is still long for that.
Is it possible to set the aspect ratio to a certain amount before it wraps? Currently the text gets shrunk so much that it is unreadable.

My concern is when the final product is released the names and numbers are short enough to fit nicely in each cell, however prior to that (and renaming) the name of the file may contain the part name, a person's initials, date, and stuff like that ... so it can get quite long, and messy.

I guess my main question here is ... If I have more than one fit method toggled "on" how does NX know when to go from one to the other?

I am in NX6

There's no user control over the minimum aspect ratio used with the 'Auto Size Text' option, which is hard-coded at 0.20.

However, if you can allow the height of the cell to change, perhaps it would be better if you used 'Wrap' and 'Auto Size Row', in that order.
