Notes and Labels
You can create and modify several types of text, including text with leaders. You can control
most text style settings by defining text styles.
Overview of Notes and Labels
You can create text in various ways. For short, simple entries, use single-line
text. For longer entries with internal formatting, use multiline text (mtext).
Although all entered text uses the current text style, which establishes the default
font and format settings, you can use several methods to customize the text
appearance. There are several tools that can change text scale and justification,
find and replace text, and check for spelling errors.
Text that is included in a dimension or tolerance is created using the
dimensioning commands. You can also create multiline text with leaders.
To create single-line text
1 Click Home tab ➤ Annotation panel ➤ Single Line Text.
2 Specify the insertion point for the first character. If you press ENTER, the
program locates the new text immediately below the last text object you
created, if any.
3 Specify the height of the text. This prompt is displayed only if text height
is set to 0 in the current text style.
A rubber-band line is attached from the text insertion point to the cursor.
Click to set the height of the text to the length of the rubber-band line.
4 Specify a text rotation angle.
