T-FLEX Parametric CAD. Fundamentals. 2D Design

Note that on subsequent calls to the command the type option will be turned on that was used in the
previous command session. The default type is .
The text being created can be positioned either in absolute coordinates (the option ), or attached to an
Text
existing node (the option ) to have its position adjust together with the position of the specified nodes. A
string text can also be positioned at the specified vertical and horizontal offsets with respect to the
attachment node.
Besides that, the following additional options will be available in the automenu for a string text in order to
relate it to construction entities (lines and circles ). Those allow defining the rotation angle and the
shape of the text according to the position and shape of the construction entities.
Text of any type can also be bound to the joint points between graphic lines belonging to 2D fragments or
2D projections (a 2D node is automatically created when selecting such a point).
Before you begin creating a text, you can set default parameters for all newly created text by using the option
. Upon calling this option, the text parameters dialog box appears.
Default Text Parameters
“Style” Tab
The first group of parameters – “Justification” -
defines the element position with respect to its
attachment point, as well is justification modes of the
element contents with respect to its boundaries. The
effect of these parameters is different for different types
of text (see the respective sections for details).
Justification - Horizontal. This parameter can take
five values: “Left”, “Center”, “Right”,
“Left&Center”, “Right&Center”.
Generally, this parameter defines the way of
positioning the text with respect to the attachment
point, as well as the horizontal justification mode of
the text contents. The combination values of the
parameter, such as “Left&Center”, simultaneously
define the text contents justification (the first value,
along the left margin), and the attachment mode
(centered with respect to the attachment element).
The simple parameter value entries, such as “Left”, simultaneously set the justification of the text
contents and the same attachment mode.
When working with a paragraph text, the attachment mode is ignored, since this element is attached by
two points. In the case of “Table”-type text, the text contents justification mode defined in this dialog box
is ignored.
Justification - Vertical. In the case of the paragraph text, this parameter defines the vertical justification of
the text contents. In all other cases, it defines the way of positioning the text with respect to the
attachment point. However, this parameter affects various types of text in the ways specific to each type.
