Adding a Text

With this function, a text is added to a model. The text to be added is typed in a text dialog box. An appropriate scale, text direction and text plane are defined for the text.

Starting and end points are selected for the text. When selecting the points, the cursor automatically searches to the nearest line point. If the search function X is used when selecting the starting and end points, the text is attached to the current volume. After selecting the points, the location of the text in the model is defined. When the location of the text is selected, it can still be changed with the Cursor keys Left and Right. The text plane can be changed by pressing Shift+Cursor key Up or Shift+Cursor key Down.
