View the Full Text Formatting Toolbar for Multiline Attributes

Issue

You want to format a multiline attribute from the Quick Properties panel using the Text Formatting toolbar, but you are only able to open an abbreviated Text Formatting toolbar.

You want to use this toolbar ...

... but you are only seeing the smaller toolbar pictured to the right when you try to edit the attribute.

Cause

Because attributes' main purpose is to extract data, AutoCAD provides limited options for formatting them by default.

2. When prompted to enter a value, type 2 and press Enter again.

3. Type ATTIPE in the Command line and press Enter.
