Use this dialog box to specify text to add to all drawing objects found by the
query.
To add text to retrieved drawing objects (page 1278)
Click Home tab ➤ Data panel ➤ Define Query.
Text Value
Specify the text to add.
Enter the text, or choose a variable by clicking Expression.
■ If you enter text in the box, that text is added to each object.
■ If you choose a variable, the text for each object is based on the value
of the variable.
For example, if you choose the property Elevation, the elevation is added
as text to each retrieved object.
If select a field from an object data table, the value in that field is added to
each object. If an object does not have a record attached from the selected
table, no text is added to the object.
Text Height
Specify a text height.
If none is specified, text uses the AutoCAD Map 3D default text height.
Insert Point
Specify an insertion point for the text.
Centroid
Insert text at the centroid of the object.
Labelpt
Insert text at the label point of the object.
The default location for the label point is the centroid of the object. To
change the location of the label point, use the ADETEXTLOC command.
