Text Labels

Text elements are useful for including labels other than dimensions in a model.

As an element type, text differs in several ways from other types of elements. The following attributes apply exclusively to text and text node elements:

• Fonts — Text is placed in the Active Font.

• Justification — Text is aligned in a specific way with respect to the data point that positions its origin.

• Text sizes (Height and Width) — Text characters have height and width.

  Single (above) and Multi-line (below) text Justification. From left: Left Top, Center, and Right Bottom. The origin is placed at the location of the pointer. TH denotes Height, TW denotes Width, and LS denotes Line Spacing.

Text that exceeds the Active Line Length, such that it is more than one line long, is automatically converted to a text node. Text nodes have a line spacing attribute, which is the space between each line of text. Text nodes have numbers and cross hair symbols that mark their position in the design.

The maximum number of characters in a single-line text element is 65,535.
