Wrap Text in Tables
Whenever a user creates a new drawing, our formats are set up to use parameters from the model (of course).
Despite the addition of a Wrap Text option since WF5.0, it appears there is no way to get a table cell that contain a parameter to wrap text properly. Three software releases later.
When I asked about it, PTC, in their infinite wisdom, directed me to CS28238 which provides a solution of splitting the one parameter up into several different parameters and adding them all to the table cell, thereby allowing a portion of the parameter's contents to be displayed in each line. This, of course, is just a long way of saying, "Wrap text doesn't work at all in these cases." In short, they gave us a pseudo improvement.
In the meantime, the only solution I could come up with is to add a dummy column at the left and right ends of any table cell that will contain wrapped text (mostly just the Description cell in the title block). I can then put the parameter into the middle cell, hide the line between the cells and fake it.
Anyone else have a solution or thoughts on how best to handle this?
