Width Property

Width of the area of the text content.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 16.0.0.0 (16.0.0.0)
Since: 2016

Syntax

C# 
public double Width { get; set; }
Visual Basic 
Public Property Width As Double
	Get
	Set
Visual C++ 
public:
property double Width {
	double get ();
	void set (double value);
}

Remarks

This property supersedes the older LineWidth property which has been deprecated.

The value is in sheet units, meaning it is as when measured on a printed sheet. The measurement is of the text content only; the border around it (if specified) is excluded.

For a text element which does is set not to use text wrapping the width is calculated to fit the longest line (a single line, typically) of the text. A setting the width explicitly by assigning value to this property will automatically activate text-wrapping for the element.

Exceptions

Exception Condition
Autodesk.Revit.Exceptions ArgumentException When setting this property: A valid width must have a positive value of less then 1000 feet (approx 300 m).
