- Description
- This command sets the text attributes.
- Enter the text font. Then enter the text color.
-
- Define whether the text will be "fixed" or "scaled". If "fixed", the text
- size will be maintained during placing, and its final size will be affected by
- the reference scale set in the \tscrn command. Such text will maintain its
- relative position in the model only if the placing scale is identical to the
- reference scale. If "scaled", the text size is specified and will be affected
- by the placing scale. Its relative position will always be maintained in the
- model. (See the following diagram.) You may zoom in on both scaled and fixed
- text.
-
- Enter a value for the text size according to the current units. When working
- in feet, specify the size of the current format of text display.
-
- Specify the text location (justification) relative to the direction line.
- Text may be located above (option `a'), below (option `b') or, on (option `o')
- the direction line. (The direction line is an imaginary line between two
- points defined on screen when entering text. If only one point is defined,
- the direction line is horizontal originating from that point.)
-
- Specify the justification of the text. Options are: `l' for left
- justification, `r' for right justification and `c' for centered justification.
