Creating a Line of Text

Use the Text tool to create a single line of text, such as a page header, in the drawing file.

 

To type a single line of text:

 

1.	Click the Text tool from the Basic palette, and select Horizontal Text from the Tool bar.

The text cursor indicates the alignment of the text to be placed.

2.	Click to designate the text insertion point; a text entry box with a blinking cursor displays.

3.	Enter the text.

To add another line of text to the drawing, move to a new location on the drawing, click and type the text.

When finished typing, deselect the Text tool by selecting another tool, such as the 2D Selection tool. An X displays at the text insertion point. The X is only visible when the text is selected; it does not print.

Double-clicking on the text with the 2D or 3D Selection tool, or selecting Edit from the context menu, activates text editing mode.
