To Work With Single Line Text Changes

Move, Scale, and Rotate Text

Text objects have grips for moving, scaling, and rotating. A text object has grips at the lower-left corner of the baseline and at the alignment point. You can change single-line text with DDEDIT and PROPERTIES.

Use DDEDIT when you need to change only the content of the text, not the formatting or properties of the text object.

Use PROPERTIES when you want to change content, text style, location, orientation, size, justification, and other properties.

The effect of a command depends on which grip you choose.
