Place Text

Used to place a text element(s).

You can access this tool from the following:

Setting	Description
Tool Settings	All options for placing text are controlled through the Text Editor window.

Setting	Description
By Origin	Sets the text at the active angle with the active text settings.
Word-Wrap	Allows you to contain text within a box, once a box is selected. If a word is entered that exceeds the limit of the box, that word drops to the next line.
Fitted	Text is stretched to fit between two data points. The vertical alignment of the text is determined by the active Justification.
Annotation Scale Lock	Sets the Annotation Scale Lock. When this lock is on, the annotation scale is applied to the text that is placed in the model. By default, the annotation scale is taken from the model's Annotation Scale setting. You can change it only in the model's properties in the Properties dialog. The exception is when the model's Propagate Annotation Scale property is off. In that case, the annotation scale can be controlled independently for each element via its properties.
Enable to create relative associations to elements	Establishes a relative association with the element to which the text is associated. If the associated element is moved, the text is automatically moved accordingly.
Active Angle	Sets the angle, in degrees, at which text is placed, when method is By Origin or Fitted.
View Independent	If this check box is turned on, the text once placed, stays at the same orientation regardless of the view rotation.
