Width of the area of the text content.

Namespace: Autodesk.Revit.DB
Assembly: RevitAPI (in RevitAPI.dll) Version: 17.0.0.0 (17.0.1090.0)
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
