Besides that, if the parameter “'Transparent' Text editing” is set among the drawing settings (the command “Customize|Status…”, the tab “Preferences”), then you can start the text editing mode by clicking the text (the pointer in this case turns into a textual cursor). Modifying parameters of selected elements To modify parameters of selected text, use the option . If the whole paragraph text was selected, then after calling the option a dialog box appears with general parameters of the paragraph text: Level, layer, priority, color – the standard parameters for all T-FLEX CAD elements. Symmetric. This parameter defines “mirror” text mode. The “Font” tab contains several standard parameters. If a rectangular area is selected (see the topic “Editing rectangle” for selection tips), then the option call brings up the dialog box Rectangle parameters: Vertical Justification - sets the vertical text justification inside the selected rectangle. Three justification options are available –Top, Center, and Bottom. Rotation angle – allows rotating the rectangular area by an arbitrary angle, in degrees.

Fundamentals. Two-Dimensional Design 358 text parameters dialog box that follows. Adding rectangle The following option adds a rectangle at the end of the list of the existing rectangles: Add Rectangle If an existing area of the paragraph text being edited was selected before calling the option, then the new rectangle will be inserted in the list before the selected area. The new rectangle (box) may be automatically created when the content of a paragraph text is edited. Editing rectangle To resize an arbitrary rectangular area of a paragraph text, first you need to select it. To do this, click on the outer side of the rectangle. Now, you can resize it by the mouse. Automatic deletion of rectangle It is possible that, as you edit a paragraph text that spans several boxes, the text shrinks so much that the last created box becomes empty. In this case, the system could maintain the empty box, or delete it from the page, or even delete it together with the page on which it is located, provided that this text box is the only object on that page. The specific system actions depend on the settings made in the dialog of the “Parameters of changing Paragraph size” option (the icon ) in the text content editing mode (see the topic “Entering text content”). Editing text in separate window Besides the way of editing a paragraph text directly on the drawing, there is a provision for working in the text editor. To start the editor in the text contents editing mode, call the option . The text editor window will be displayed. The text editor provides all the text handling options described above (formatting and insertion), plus the option: Zoom. The displayed text can be zoomed for convenience. The text editor also allows working with various text document files. The following formats are supported: T-FLEX Paragraph Text (*.tft), Rich Text Format (*.rtf), Text files (*.txt), DOS Text files (*.txt). The following options are used for handling files:
