Meanwhile, the coordinates of the upper left corner of the rectangular area will be displayed in the auxiliary
fields of the status bar: . To locate the text, move the pointer to the handle
located in the up or right corner. The pointer appearance will change accordingly. Hold down the left mouse
button and rotate the text rectangle in the desired direction. Rotation will be about the text centerpoint with
snapping at each 15°. Rotation without snapping is done by depressing the key. Rotation angle will
also be displayed in the auxiliary field of the status bar.
To resize the rectangle, move the pointer over one of the small squares located at midpoints of each side and
at each corner of the rectangle. The pointer will assume the shape corresponding to the vertical, horizontal or
diagonal resizing. Hold the down and move the pointer in the desired direction.
Inputting Text Contents
When inputting the contents of a paragraph text, the user is provided with various tools for formatting the

command automenu.
Selection of a text fragment (as for its formatting) is done by dragging the mouse

use the key combination or the context menu command “Select All”.
The command “Copy” allows copying a highlighted text fragment or table into the
clipboard for further pasting into another “Text” element or into another
application.
The command “Paste” is used for pasting a text or table from the clipboard. For
example, you can copy a table from Microsoft Word and paste it in T-FLEX CAD.
When working with variables, as well as with various objects inserted in the text,
additional commands are provided in the context menu for defining and modifying
the object parameters (see below).
