\ TEXT CODES

I need a list of the \ codes that can be used with dimension overrides. (ex \X to stack without line between or \S to stack with line between). Any help with aquiring these codes would be greatly appreciated. I used to have a dwg that listed all of the text codes (%% and \ codes) but I seem to have lost it when transfering to my new job.

What about the stacking options (\x and \s)? Those no longer seem to work.

Please search "Format Multipline Text in an Alternate Text Editor" in AutoCAD's Help file (AutoCAD User's Guide).

By the way, these format codes are available in 2006's MText Editor already (via the buttons of Text Formatting toolbar).

Thanks,
