Inserting Texts

Add text to your drawing with Insert - Lettering or Insert - Text. The only difference between the two is the default font they use.

Text Properties

You can customize these text properties:

  1. Font name
  2. Font size
  3. Bold
  4. Italic
  5. Underlined
  6. Font color
  7. Alignment

Editing Text

Right-click any text label to open an editing dialog. Need special characters? Here are three ways to add them:

  • Press Alt + the numeric code of the character. For example, Alt + 937 inserts the Ω symbol.
  • Pick a character from the character map on the left side of the dialog. You can add your most-used characters to this map through program settings in the "Others" tab.
  • Use the Windows character map (Start → Programs → Accessories → System Tools → Character Map).
Text insertion dialog

⚠️ If some characters show up as squares, the selected font doesn't support them. Switch to a font like Lucida Sans Unicode to fix this.

Changing Font Size

Standalone Text

Select the text, then adjust its size using the toolbar at the top of the program.

Attributes (e.g., Reference or Symbol Type)

Press F12, go to the Fonts tab, and set the font size for the specific attribute.

Using the Character Map

Set up the character map with the characters you use most often. You can enter characters via Alt + numeric code or the Windows character map.

Pre-Inserting Text

Want to type the text before placing it on the drawing? Enable this option in program settings under the Control tab.
