Text box that will increase or decrease in length with text

[JamFam]

I want to be able to create a dynamic block that I can insert into my architectural drawings. This block will contain text with a box around it. The box will lengthen or shrink depending upon the length of text. Better still, regardless of the text size, the text box will automatically resize depending upon the amount of text AND the size of font.

 

Thanks

Sounds very familiar. I'm almost positive that this problem has been addressed somewhere (Michael's Corner here at CADTutor, AUGI or AutoCAD Discussion Forums, or Cadalyst magazine "Tips and Tricks"). Have you done an Internet search?
