Adding Non-Electrical
Information
Non-electrical information such as comments, tables, and
graphics can be added to the schematic.
There are three types of non-electrical information:
• text—multiple lines or a single line, such as comments
or instructions
• graphics—lines, circles, and arcs
• annotation symbols

Multiple Line Text Editing
With the multiple line text option, you can enter text at
any location on the schematic by creating an editable,
resizable text box. This is the best way to add more than
one line of text to a schematic. The text properties can be
changed to specify the font, color, point size, and frame of
the text box.
