To Bypass the Text Editor Window

  1. In the Key-in window, type PLACE TEXT.

    The prompt “TEXT:” appears in the Key-in window.

  2. Type a line of text.
  3. Optional: To start a new line of text, press Ctrl+J.

    A dot appears in the key-in field at the end of the text to indicate a “line feed” (the equivalent of a carriage return on a typewriter).

  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all lines of text are typed.
  5. Do one of the following:
    • Press Enter to place the text interactively with the pointer.
    • Place the text by precision key-in (for example, XY=0,0).
