This can be seen in the Part Logic form, as shown in the following image. Unfortunately, you will be unable to resolve this ideally through simple changes to the form file. The ideal change will involve, consider changing from a list field to a grid field. By changing to a grid, you will be able to more efficiently update entries. Additionally, you will be able to resize the columns (or use the CONTENTSIZE option for the grid to size your columns to the data that is present in them for the current drawing). As a last benefit, you will be able to use the grid header to keep the column's header value directly aligned with the contents regardless of the width of the column. Buttons Width Does not Match Form File Value Buttons on your form may not honor the size listed in the form file if the text label does not adequately fit in the width indicated. To prevent text clipping, the button may grow or shrink in size. The purpose here is to ensure that the entire text label on the button is visible. If you find that the button size is not what you want it to be, you can use one of the following techniques to correct it: 1. Add spaces to the left and right of the text label for the button in the form file. This will force the button wider to accommodate the space characters to be displayed. 2. Change the text label for the form to less descriptive text, if you wish the button to be smaller. 3. If you change the button's text label through the progression of the command's use, consider using multiple buttons with different labels, and display the button appropriate to the current action only.
