Multiple Text Entities

Post by AlanC » Sat Jan 07, 2017 5:29 am

I wish to add text notes or item captions in various locations on a drawing. I can only seem to get the same text box every time and all text is positioned together.

As always - there are multiple possibility's to accomplish a task like that one:
Maybe you like to try this one:

Launch the Text tool,
set to single line text, type your text, ok

Thanks for the rapid response. I actually turned the 'single line' off because I was entering a multi line text block. Alan
