Word wrap an annotation in a drawing title block

[BOPdesigner]

I have elements in our drawing title block coded to drawing file attributes in NX 6. Lets talk about the Description field for example. Is there a way to have the annotation defined so that when characters of the attribute reach a certain length that it wraps the next word onto a 2nd line of text in the drawing border instead of stretching one text line across the boundary of the description field on the border? For example:

THIS PART DESCRIPTION EXTENDS OUTSIDE MY TITLEBLOCK

would automatically wrap to be two lines like

THIS PART DESCRIPTION
STAYS INSIDE MY TITLEBLOCK

If you create your attribute driven note using the Tabulated Note function in Drafting, you can set up various 'Fit Method' rules including such things as Wrap, Auto Size Text, Truncate, etc. We even provide a scheme which performs a type of 'Hebrew' Abbreviation (remove all vowels which are not the first letter in a word). Note that despite the fact that a tabular notes default configuration is a 'table' it can be edited to remove all the lines which makes up the cells in the table. You can also edit the size of each cell (which can be edited to be just a single cell) as well as the Fit rules.

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Yea cool, this might work ok. I only have the Wrap box checked and for some reason the text height and the aspect are are changing to from the 0.175 and 0.7 I keep trying to set it at, to 0.17499999 and 0.06999 respectively.

Make sure that you've actually selected ONLY the 'cell' that you're note is in when you modify the Fit Method.
