inserting texts
You can paste any text into your document by using the
"Insert"-"Lettering" or "Insert"-"Text" commands. To make text
inserting easier, there are two types of texts: a lettering and a
text. Both, the lettering and text were assigned a default font.
However you can easily change the font setting using the toolbar
commands, so any font can be used.
Fonts for symbol labels (types and values) and fonts for the
title block are set globally in the document settings window.
A double-click on the label shows a dialog box, where you can
enter the text. Less frequent characters may be entered in the
following ways:
- using Alt+numeric code of the character. For instance, the
character Ω can be inserted by pressing Alt+937.
- clicking on the selected character on the character map, which
can be found in the left part of the dialog box. You can add the
characters you need to use in the character map. This can be done
in the program settings menu on the "Others" tab.
- by entering the character from the Windows default character
map (Start-Programs-Accessories-System tools-Character map).
Some characters may be displayed as a square. This is because
these characters are not available in the selected font. Select
another font. We recommend for instance the "Lucida Sans Unicode"
font.
