Adding Text to Your Drawing

You can add text of varying size, color and font to your drawings. You can also manipulate the text (move, rotate, etc.) once it has been selected just like any other element in the program.

To add text to your drawing:

1. Select Tools > Text > Add Text, or click the Add Text button on the Notation toolbar.  

2. In the Text dialog, type the text you want to add. If you want to import a text (*.txt) file, click Import, then select the file to import.

3. To select a style for the text, click the Text Style button and select or create a text style in the Text Styles dialog.

4. By default, text is left justified. For multi-line text, this means that text lines will line up on the left, and be ragged on the right. If you want to change the justification of the text, click the appropriate button in the bottom left corner of the dialog.

5. If you want to automatically return to the Text dialog after you have inserted the current text, enable the Multiple text insert check box. This is ideal when you want to insert different pieces of text without having to select the Add Text tool again.

6. Click OK. The text is attached to your cursor.

7. Position the text where you want it, then click to insert it.
