100

Subclass marker (AcDbMText)

10

Insertion point. DXF: X value; APP: 3D point

20, 30

DXF: Y and Z values of insertion point

40

Default text height

41

Reference rectangle width

71

Attachment point:
1 = Top left; 2 = Top center; 3 = Top right;
4 = Middle left; 5 = Middle center; 6 = Middle right
7 = Bottom left; 8 = Bottom center; 9 = Bottom right

72

Drawing direction:
1 = Left to right;
3 = Top to bottom;
5 = By style (the flow direction is inherited from the associated text style)

1

Text string. If the text string is less than 250 characters, all characters appear in group 1. If the text string is greater than 250 characters, the string is divided into 250 character chunks, which appear in one or more group 3 codes. If group 3 codes are used, the last group is a group 1 and has fewer than 250 characters.

3

Additional text (always in 250 character chunks).

7

Text style name (STANDARD if not provided)

210

Extrusion direction. (optional; default = 0, 0, 1).
DXF: X value; APP: 3D vector

220, 230

DXF: Y and Z values of extrusion direction

11

X-axis direction vector (in WCS)
DXF: X value; APP: 3D vector

NOTE  A group code 50 (rotation angle in radians) passed as DXF input is converted to the equivalent direction vector (if both a code 50 and codes 11,21,31 are passed, the last one wins). This is provided as a convenience for conversions from text objects.

21, 31

DXF: Y and Z values of X-axis direction vector (in WCS)

42

Horizontal width of the characters that make up the mtext object. (This value will always be equal to or less than the value of group code 41.)

43

Vertical height of the characters that make up the mtext object.

50

Rotation angle in radians.
