To Create Single-line Text

For short, simple notes and labels, use single-line text.

1. Click Home tabAnnotation panelSingle Line Text. Find
2. Specify the insertion point for the first character. If you press ENTER, the program locates the new text immediately below the last text object you created, if any.
3. Specify the height of the text. This prompt is displayed only if text height is set to 0 in the current text style.

   A rubber-band line is attached from the text insertion point to the cursor. Click to set the height of the text to the length of the rubber-band line.

4. Specify a text rotation angle.

   You can enter an angle value or use your pointing device.

5. Enter the text. At the end of each line, press ENTER. Enter more text as needed.
   Note:

   Text that would otherwise be difficult to read (if it is very small, very large, or is rotated) is displayed at a legible size and is oriented horizontally so that you can easily read and edit it.

   If you specify another point during this command, the cursor moves to that point, and you can continue typing. Every time you press ENTER or specify a point, a new text object is created.

6. Press ENTER on a blank line to end the command.
