- TEXT Menu:MTEXT
- =============================================================================
- Creates text in the model.
-
- 1. (CHAR) enter text (1-40 char.)
- 2.* (POINT) justification point
- 3.* (POINT) point for direction, <ENTER> for horizontal
-
- Description:
-
- This command creates a text entity in the model.
-
- Type the text and pick the justification point to locate the start
- of the text. Pick a second point to indicate the direction in which
- the text will be written from the first point: the text will be parallel
- to the imaginary line connecting these two points. The text may be
- located above, below or centrally about this line, as determined by
- the text attributes set in commands \atext or \tjust. If you press <ENTER> at
- the direction point prompt, the system will place the text horizontally on a
- straight line in a positive direction (+X) (when working in the XY or XZ
- planes only).
-
- Spaces between words are generated by typing the underline character
- (_). This character will not appear on screen.
- Text is displayed only in views of the axial planes. Attempting to
- create text on any other plane will cause the following message to
- appear:
-
- invalid view, change to orthogonal !
-
- You will be prompted for additional justification points for the same
- text entity until you enter another command.
- You may enter a string of text commands in the following format:
-
- \text kitchen \text bathroom \text bedroom
-
- When you execute the command, the system will ask you for a location
- for each text item and place each item consecutively.
-
- Example
- \text room 4 4 0 8 4 0
-
- Result:The text "room" begins at point 4 4 0 and its orientation
- is horizontal (4 4 0 to 8 4 0).
