Overview of Creating Text
The text you add to your drawings conveys a variety of information. It may be a complex specification, title block information, a label, or even part of the drawing.
For short entries that do not require multiple fonts or lines, create single-line text. Single-line text is most convenient for labels.
For long, complex entries, create multiline, or paragraph text. Multiline text consists of any number of text lines or paragraphs that fit within a width you specify; it can extend vertically to an indefinite length.
Regardless of the number of lines, each set of paragraphs created in a single editing session forms a single object, which you can move, rotate, erase, copy, mirror, or scale.
There are more editing options for multiline text than there are for single-line text. For example, you can apply underlining, fonts, color, and text height changes to individual characters, words, or phrases within a paragraph.
Use annotative text for notes and labels in your drawing. You create annotative text by using an annotative text style, which sets the height of the text on the paper.
