If TEXT was the last command entered, pressing Enter at the Specify Start
Point of Text prompt skips the prompts for paper height and rotation angle.
The text that you enter in the text box is placed directly beneath the previous
line of text. The point that you specified at the prompt is also stored as the
insertion point of the text.
If the
TEXTED system variable is set to 1, text created using TEXT displays the
Edit Text dialog box. If TEXTED is set to 2, the In-Place Text Editor is displayed.
When creating text, you can click anywhere in a drawing to create a new text
block. You can also use the keyboard to move among text blocks (for example:
for new text created using the
TEXT command, you can navigate through text
groups by pressing Tab or Shift+Tab, or edit a group of text lines by pressing
Alt and clicking each text object.)
NOTE Text that would otherwise be difficult to read (if it is very small, very large,
or is rotated) is displayed at a legible size and is oriented horizontally so that you
can easily read and edit it.
You can enter special characters and format text by entering
Unicode strings
and control codes.
Use -TEXT to
honor the TEXTEVAL system variable.
