Placing Text
AutoSketch gives you the flexibility to place rich text anywhere in your
drawing. You can place single lines (such as a label) or several paragraphs of
text. You can even align the text to two points. There are two primary
methods of placing text:
■
Text Point allows you to place single lines of text by placing the text’s base-
point then entering the text. You can specify the justification—how
AutoSketch orients text about its basepoint—for a text entity using the
drop-down list box at the right of the edit bar.
■
Text Rectangle allows you to place entire paragraphs of text and automat-
ically wraps the text within the bounds of a text box you create. Similar to
Text Point, the justification specifies how the text is oriented about its
basepoint. However, the justification also determines the direction the
text box will expand if the text should overrun the bounds of the original
box. A justification of Top Right, for instance, will place the text basepoint
at the top right corner of the text box, expanding downward if necessary.
A text border allows you to outline the text entity with a box. Controls on
the property bar allow you to control the line style, weight, and color of the
border.
To add a text entity
1 On the Draw menu, click Text, Point, or click the Text Point button on the
All-In-One toolbar.
2 (optional) Change the edit bar values to adjust the font, height, and/or
angle, then press ENTER.
3 (optional) From the Justification drop-down list box on the edit bar, click
a justification. The justification determines the placement of the
basepoint.
4 (optional) To add a border around the text entity, select the Draws Text
Border check box on the edit bar.
5 Click a point for the basepoint of the text.
Text input mode defaults to the last mode used (Edit Text dialog box or
inplace editing).
