Add a Standard Text
Dictionaries contain standard texts (names and marking conventions) that all drawing designers should use.
Dictionaries can be grouped so that it is easier for the user to find a dictionary belonging to a specific category. The user can pick one or several texts at a time from a dictionary to a drawing.
The dictionary is selected in the dialog box when adding a text. The user can pick one or several text lines at a time from the dictionary.
Text added from a dictionary can be edited and removed similarly to ordinary text.
Add text from dictionary as follows:
- Select the text adding function from the Texts menu.
- If necessary, open the advanced option of the Text Dialog Box by clicking the Advanced button in the dialog box.
- Select the dictionary from the Previous Texts / Standard Texts list.
- Select all those lines from the list of the dialog box you want to add to the drawing, and click the Add button.
- Change the text properties, if necessary.
- Select the position of the text.
The users can maintain and supplement the dictionaries themselves.
