node. The option was used for selecting the node with the offset values
“0,0”.
If you want to wrap the text on a circle, select a circle using the option .
You can flip such text (rotate by 180°) by using the justification parameters
for defining the position of the attachment point.
The diagram on the right hand side shows a text wrapped on a circle. The
following justification parameters were used for creating this text: horizontal
– left, vertical – upper limit. By selecting this text for editing one can see a
small square displayed in the upper left corner of this text, indicating the
position of the text attachment point.
Modifying the justification parameters of this text as follows: horizontal –
left, vertical – lower limit - flips the text by 180°.
With the snapping turned on, the construction elements suitable for
the text attachment references are pre-highlighted as the pointer
approaches. To attach the text to those, you can simply click .
Construction line intersections can also be selected as the attachment
node, the actual node being created automatically in this case.
Upon defining the text position, a window will be displayed for inputting the
text contents. The text may contain variables, subscripts and superscripts, as
well as special symbols. If the flag “Force Parameter dialog box for each
new text created” is set among the text parameters, then the parameters
dialog box appears with an additional tab “Contents”, where the desired text
can be input.
Otherwise, a special text editor will be displayed for
inputting the text contents. Text Editor is provided for
inputting and editing the contents of string text. The text
editor supports all functions of a common Windows text
editor, including importing/exporting text files.
The following commands are provided in the context menu
of both the text editor and the parameters dialog of the string
text: Insert Symbol (by selecting it from the symbol table);
Repeat Symbol inserted before; Insert Variable; Insert text
from Dictionary (see below); call Measure command.
