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:

1. Select the text adding function from the Texts menu.
2. If necessary, open the advanced option of the Text Dialog Box by clicking the Advanced button in the dialog box.
3. Select the dictionary from the Previous Texts / Standard Texts list.
4. Select all those lines from the list of the dialog box you want to add to the drawing, and click the Add button.
5. Change the text properties, if necessary.
6. Select the position of the text.

The users can maintain and supplement the dictionaries themselves.
