RE: [CONNECT C++] TextBlock location and size

Hi,

regarding location of a textblock and height/width of text I have put an example together, which places a textnode at xyz(25,35,45) and assigns a textheight and textwidth of 8 mu to the second paragraph, I hope this helps using textblocks.

Best regards,

Artur
