Parameters Dialog of Text |
|
Parameters dialog of text may have different layouts depending on type of text and depending on whether the dialog is called before or after text creation.
Parameters dialog of a new text
Parameters dialog 
can be called for a new text prior to its creation using the following automenu option within the Text and Table commands:
The dialog's layout is common for all types of text. It contains following tabs:
•Style;
•Font.
Style tab in parameters dialog of a new text
The tab contains following parameters:
•Justification group of parameters
See the Position and Orientation of Text section.
•Rotation angle
Angle at which text is rotated about a horizontal axis. Measured in degrees. Positive values correspond to counterclockwise rotation, negative - clockwise. In cases where text is oriented along a construction line, such line will be used as rotation axis instead of horizontal.
•Level, Layer, Priority, Color
Standard parameters available for most T-FLEX CAD elements.
•Force Parameters dialog box for each new text created
This checkbox only affects string texts. If checkbox is enabled, then the Contents tab of text's parameters dialog is opened automatically upon defining an attachment point. Otherwise, the crippled version of the text editor is opened.
Parameters dialog of an already created text
The parameters dialog can be called for an already created text outside the text content editing mode in one of the following ways:
•double-clicking 
a contour of text's bounding rectangle in 2D or 3D window;
•double-clicking anywhere within string text's bounding rectangle in 2D or 3D window;
•double-clicking a text in the 
Model Elements tool window;
•right clicking 
the text in 2D or 3D window or in the Model Elements tool window and then selecting the Parameters... item in the contextual menu;
•clicking the the icon in the dynamic toolbar displayed upon selecting a text in 2D or 3D window;
•using the automenu of the Edit Text command.
The dialog has common layout for multiline text, paragraph text and table. It contains following tabs:
•Style;
•Font.
The layout of dialog for string text differs by the set of parameters in the Style tab and by the presence of the Contents tab.
Style tab in parameters dialog of an already created multiline text, paragraph text and table
The tab contains following parameters:
•Level, Layer, Priority, Color
Standard parameters available for most T-FLEX CAD elements.
•Symmetric
Enabling this checkbox mirrors the text horizontally.
•Correct Length of Italic Text
Enabling this checkbox forces the system to take into account the slope of the italic text when placing elements of fractions, indexes, and when formatting a paragraph in Fit to one line mode.
By default, this option is disabled for texts created in T-FLEX CAD version 11 and later, and enabled for newly created texts.
Style tab in parameters dialog of an already created string text
The tab contains following parameters:
•Coordinates group of parameters
Input boxes for X and Y coordinates of text anchor point. If the text is attached to to 2D node, then offsets from said node are displayed instead of absolute coordinates.
•Justification group of parameters
See the Position and Orientation of Text section.
•Rotation angle
Angle at which text is rotated about a horizontal axis. Measured in degrees. Positive values correspond to counterclockwise rotation, negative - clockwise. In cases where text is oriented along a construction line, such line will be used as rotation axis instead of horizontal.
•Symmetric
Enabling this checkbox mirrors the text horizontally.
•Level, Layer, Priority, Color
Standard parameters available for most T-FLEX CAD elements.
