Hello

( i use CAD Import/Export VCL 7.4. & Delphi 2007 )

i want draw a line, for make " underline text style "

for know the lenght text, i use TsgDXFMText.Box propertie.

my code is:

Result := TsgDXFMText.Create;
Result.Point := Position
Result.Text := ' this is a exemple...'
Result.Angle := 0;
...etc...


for test the TsgDXFMText.box property, i add this code:

A1.X := Result.Box.TopLeft.X;
A1.Y := Result.Box.TopLeft.Y;
A2.X := Result.Box.BottomRight.X;
A2.Y := Result.Box.BottomRight.Y

and i draw a yellow rectangle: A1,A2.

QUESTION: is box property result always valid ?
with Arial font, it's ok.
with comic sans MS font, it's not ok.
Why ?

or how know the text lenght ?

thanks

Hello Pascal.
The Box property is valid. However for some reason calculated sizes of symbols of Comic Sans MS font in CAD Import/Export VCL are different from AutoCAD. We will consider this problem.
