    Is there a way to create MTEXT and make it middle center justified at
    creation time? I comp'd the location of my mtext insertion point, created
    the text and then chnage the justification to middle center. The problem is
    the text string is no longer inserted at the centroid of my figure. Thanks,

    set the "textalignmentpoint" equal to the insertion point after you set
    the justification.

    [pre]
    { Update the drawing title. }

    InsertPoint := VarArrayCreate([X,Z],varDouble);
    InsertPoint[X] := 50.8;
    InsertPoint[y] := 11.43;
    InsertPoint[Z] := 0.0;

    objMText := ThisDrawing.PaperSpace.AddMText(InsertPoint, 0.0, Title);
    objMText.Height := TITLE_TEXT_HEIGHT;
    objMText.AttachmentInsertPoint := acAttachmentInsertPointMiddleCenter;
    objMText.InsertionInsertPoint := InsertPoint;
    objMText.Layer := 'FORMAT';
    [/pre]

    Thanks! I was missing that one step where I set the insertion point
    property.
