Editing Text

Text objects can be edited like other nanoCAD objects: rotated, removed, copied etc.

Properties of the selected text object can be changed in the Properties bar.

	Note
	Editing the text content in the Properties bar is available only for single-line text; for multi-line text, you can switch to the content editing mode by clicking the  button.

 

It is also possible to edit a text object using grips:

Single-line text	Multiline text

The rectangular grip is basic and is used to change the text object location.

Multiline text corner grips change the size of the text area.

Triangular grips on the faces of a text object allow you to symmetrically change the width or height of the area:

The location of grips depends on the preset text alignment type.

 

For ease of editing rotated text (single-line and multiline), there is the Rotate text in edit mode mode in the Texts Settings section of the OPTIONS dialog

Rotated (hard to read) is considered text with a rotation angle greater than 28° from the horizontal.

When editing a rotated text object, with the option enabled, only the text object is rotated (displayed horizontally); with the option disabled, the entire drawing is rotated.

Rotated text	Option enabled	Option disabled

The MTEXTFIXED system variable determines the display of hard-to-read text objects while editing (hard-to-read text includes small, large, or rotated text).

MTEXTFIXED = 0 (or 1)	MTEXTFIXED = 2
The text is displayed according to the size and rotation in the drawing	The text is displayed in a convenient size and in a horizontal direction. Default value.

To disable the scaling and rotation mode of text objects while editing, set the value of the MTEXTFIXED variable to 0.
