About Notes and Labels

The text you add to your drawings conveys a variety of information. It may be a complex specification, title block information, a label, or even part of the drawing.

For short, simple entries such as labels, use single-line text. For longer entries with internal formatting, use multiline text, with which you can apply underlining, fonts, color, and text height changes to individual characters, words, or phrases within a paragraph.

Although all entered text uses the current text style, which establishes the default font and format settings, you can use several methods to customize the text appearance. There are several tools that can change text scale, justification, and alignment, find and replace text, and check for spelling errors.

Text that is included in a dimension or tolerance is created using the dimensioning commands. You can also create multiline text with leaders.
