<TextString>The string of the mtext or "USER",null so the user writes the string to the commandline.
<RotationAngle>A double representing the Mtext rotation angle in radians or "USER",null so the user writes the string to the commandline.
<InsertionPoint>The insertion point of the mtext in (WCS) or "USER",null so the user picks this point to the screen.
<maxlinelength>The maximum number of characters per line.Set 0 for unlimited characters.
<maxlegth>The maximum number of characters for the whole length of the mtext string value.Set 0 for unlimited characters.
<returns>True if the command was succesfull.</returns>
