Text
The Text command changes the current cursor to text mode and is equiva-
lent to clicking on the icon on the toolbar. In this mode the following
functions are available:
 A name can be associated with a device by clicking and holding on the
device, then moving the cursor to the desired position for the text, then
releasing the button and typing the desired name (up to 16 characters)
followed by .
 A name can be associated with a signal by clicking and holding
anywhere along a signal line, then proceeding as for devices above.
Signal names differ from device names in that they can appear at
multiple locations along the length of the signal line, up to a maximum
of 100 positions. Additional name positions are added by simply
repeating the naming procedure as many times as required. If the name
at any position is altered, then all positions are updated.
 Any existing attribute item displayed on the schematic (including a
name) can be edited by clicking on it. If the text in question was being
displayed with the field name or if it was rotated, then an edit box will
be displayed. Otherwise it can be edited right on the diagram.
 A pin number can be placed on a device pin by clicking on the pin
within 5 pixels of the device. A blinking insertion point will appear,
and you will be able to type up to 4 characters. Press the key to
terminate the pin number.
 Free text (i.e., text not associated with a specific device or signal) can
be placed by clicking anywhere on the diagram other than on a device
or signal. This text can contain hard returns or any other characters.
