Defining the Text Insertion Point
You can add text to objects using the Alter Properties feature in the
Define
Query dialog box
(page 1838). By default, AutoCAD Map 3D positions the text
at the centroid of the object.
NOTE This command works on drawing objects only. For information about
editing geospatial feature data, see
Using Feature Editing Commands (page 704)
and
Using AutoCAD Commands on Features (page 713). For information about
AutoCAD commands, see the AutoCAD Help.
The text position relative to the object is called the label point. You can redefine
the label point using the Map Labelpoint Location option.
To use the label point, choose the .LABELPT dot variable in the Define Text
dialog box
(page 1846) when you create the Property Alteration definition in
the
Define Query dialog box (page 1838).
