Editing Text with the Inplace Editor
AutoSketch includes an inplace editor so you can modify the content of a
text entity directly in your drawing. The inplace editor allows you to add and
edit text, format text, and change its alignment.
Inplace editing supports cut, copy, and paste operations through the
Windows Clipboard and features Spelling tools.
The inplace editor supports a number of character editing keys that speed up
text editing. These keys control the position of the pointer, help you add and
delete text, and control the text selection. Use the commands on the
standard toolbar, property bar, and edit bar for these and other functions.
Character Map and text import are not available during inplace editing, they
are only available in text editor mode. To quickly go from inplace editing to
the text editor mode, use CTRL+E.
To edit text using inplace editing
1 Select a text entity, then click the Edit Text button on the edit bar.
If text editor mode is your default, you can switch from text editor mode
to inplace editing, by clicking the Inplace Edit button in the Text Editor
Dialog box.
2 Edit the text. To complete the edit, move the pointer away from the text
box and right-click or click CTRL+ENTER.
