Place Text Labels

Use this method to place text labels on the drawing without having to define a box or character styles. When you create a text label, the text style toolbar is not available.

After entering the text, you can define a rotation angle for the text.

Steps

1. Click to define the insertion point of the text, that is the bottom left corner of the label.
2. Enter the text.- 3. Press Return to add a new line of text and create a multi-line label, or 4. Click outside or press the Enter key to end the text insertion.
3. Define the angle by moving the pointer. Click to complete the insertion.

To add the label directly without defining the rotation, hold the Command key (Mac) or Control key (Windows) and click outside or press the Enter key.
