Drop Text

Used to convert the text characters in a text element to the individual elements that are used to draw the characters — lines, line strings, arcs, ellipses, and shapes.

You can access this tool from the following:

  • Ribbon: Drawing > Annotate > Text > More split button
  • Toolbox: Text
Key-in: DROP TEXT
Note: To break up a multi-line text element (text node), first use the Drop Complex Status tool to break it up into individual text elements and then use the Drop Text tool on each of the text elements.
