Text Associativity (2D)
You can associate a text in a drawing with a line, hatch or symbol selected from the drawing. You can also change or delete the associativity of a text.
Associativity affects the text as follows:
- When a text is associated with an element, the deletion of the element also deletes the associated text.
- If you move the associated element, the text will not move with the element.
Adding Associativity
- Select the text.
- Select Properties | Properties | Associativity.
- Select one of the following as an associative element:
- Line
- Hatch
- Symbol
Changing or Deleting Associativity
- Select the text.
If the text has associativity, Properties | Properties | Associativity is selected.
- Clear Associativity.
If you wish to change the associated element, reselect Associativity, and select a new element from the drawing.
Note
- When the software is in basic mode and you select a text from the drawing, you can see with which element the selected text is associated. The associative element is highlighted in color, if the color marking is enabled.
