Learning Outcomes<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/header>\r\n

\r\n\r\nWhen you have completed this module, you will be able to:\r\n\r\n1 Describe single line text, text style, and text justification.\r\n\r\n2 Apply the STYLE, TEXT, and DDEDIT commands to format, insert, and edit single line text.\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

Text<\/h1>\r\nIn this module, formatting, inserting, and editing single line text is taught. Single line text <\/em><\/span>is text that is inserted as a single line, is edited one line at a time, and each line is a individual drawing object. Module 25 teaches multiline text.\r\n

Text Style<\/h1>\r\nThe STYLE command is used to create and format text styles plus used to set the current text style. A text style <\/em><\/span>contains text properties, is user created, named, and saved in the drawing. As many text styles as required can be created and saved in each drawing. The current text style <\/em><\/span>is the text style that will be assigned to text that is inserted in the drawing using the TEXT command.\r\n\r\nA good example to explain text style is to use the text font. Font is a text property that is set in a text style. If you want to change the font of an existing text object on the drawing, the style property of the text must be changed. This is done using Properties window. Simply find the text style assigned to the selected text and then change the font property of that style. All existing text, with that style, will change to reflect the new font assigned. If you only want to change the font of the selected text, defined a new text style with the font required and change the style assigned to the selected text.\r\n\r\nAll AutoCAD drawings contain a text style named Standard. It is special style that cannot be deleted or purged from the drawing. It should not be used as it may cause problems in the drawing sometime in the future. The reason for this will be taught later in the book. For now, create your own text style or use ones that already exist.\r\n

Text Justification<\/h1>\r\nText justification<\/span> <\/em>is a property attached to text objects that locates the text in relation to its insert point selected by the you in the TEXT command. There are many ways to justify text and it is important for you to know how, where, and when to use each one. In this module, the left<\/em><\/span>, middle<\/em><\/span>, and right<\/span> <\/em>justified text are taught. Figure 19-1 shows how a text object would justify itself if inserted at the selected locations P1, P2, and P3. If you do not specify a justification when inserting text, the default justification is left.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1364\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"185\"]\"\" Figure 19-1 Text Justification[\/caption]\r\n

Text Height<\/h1>\r\nText height is a property assigned to the text drawing object and not to the text style. In almost all cases, the text height property, in the text style, should be set to zero. When it is set to zero, AutoCAD allows you to change the text height of text inserted with that style. It also allows the text style to automatic scale text in a dimension.\r\n
\r\n

AutoCAD Command: STYLE<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/header>\r\n

\r\n\r\nThe STYLE command is used to create, format, and edit text styles. It also is used to set the current text style.\r\n\r\nShortcut: ST<\/strong>\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1365\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"377\"]\"\" Text Toolbar<\/strong>[\/caption]\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1366\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"211\"]\"\" Format Pull-down[\/caption]\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\nHome Ribbon\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

\r\n

AutoCAD Command: DDEDIT<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/header>\r\n

\r\n\r\nThe DDEDIT command is used to edit existing text objects.\r\n\r\nShortcut: Double click the text<\/strong>.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1372\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"349\"]\"\" Text Toolbar[\/caption]\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1373\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"507\"]\"\" Modify Pull-down[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
USER TIP: <\/strong>If a text object is double clicked, the Edit Text dialogue box will open automatically with the text selected, ready to be edited. This is a fast way to edit single line text and almost eliminates the use of the DDEDIT command. Text contents can also be edited in the Properties window.<\/div>\r\n

WORKALONG: Creating Text Styles and Inserting Single Line Text<\/h1>\r\n

Step 1<\/h2>\r\nStart a new drawing using the template: 2D Layout English<\/span>.\r\n

Step 2<\/h2>\r\nSave and name the drawing: AutoCAD 2D Workalong 19-1<\/span>.\r\n

Step 3<\/h2>\r\nEnter the STYLE command. It will open the Text Style dialogue box. (Figure Step 3)\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1374\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"500\"]\"\" Figure Step 3[\/caption]\r\n\r\n
AUTHOR'S COMMENTS:<\/strong> The Standard text style is a special style that all drawings contain. It cannot be deleted or purged from the drawing. I suggest that you do NOT use it. It is better to create your own styles.<\/div>\r\n

Step 4<\/h2>\r\nClick the New button to open the New Text Style dialogue box. (Figure Step 4)\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1375\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"317\"]\"\" Figure Step 4[\/caption]\r\n

Step 5<\/h2>\r\nEnter the name: Module 19-1<\/span> in the Style Name box as shown in the figure. Click OK to save and close the dialogue box. (Figure Step 5)\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1376\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"316\"]\"\" Figure Step 5[\/caption]\r\n

Step 6<\/h2>\r\nCheck to ensure that the Current text style is set to: Module 19-1<\/span>. (Figure Step 6)\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1377\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"205\"]\"\" Figure Step 6[\/caption]\r\n

Step 7<\/h2>\r\nIn the Font Name: box, pull down the list and select the font: romans.shx<\/span>. (Figure Step 7)\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1378\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"219\"]\"\" Figure Step 7[\/caption]\r\n\r\n
AUTHOR'S COMMENTS: <\/strong>Once you pull down the font name list, type the first letter of the name of the font you are looking for. In this case, R. That will force the list to jump directly to the font names that begin with the letter R.<\/div>\r\n

Step 8<\/h2>\r\nDo not change any other items. The Text Style dialogue box should now appear as shown in the figure. Click the Close button to save and close the dialogue box. (Figure Step 8)\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1379\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"500\"]\"\" Figure Step 8[\/caption]\r\n\r\n
AUTHOR'S COMMENTS: <\/strong>In almost all cases, the text height in the Text Style dialogue box should be set to zero. When it is set to zero, the text height for any text assigned that style can be set and changed to any height you desire. If it is set to a value other then zero, the text height of all text assigned that text style property will not be allowed to be changed.<\/div>\r\n

Step 9<\/h2>\r\nEnable layout: Module Layout A<\/span>. (Figure Step 9)\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1380\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"248\"]\"\" Figure Step 9[\/caption]\r\n\r\n
\r\n

Step 10<\/h2>\r\nSet layer: Text<\/span> as the current layer.\r\n

Step 11<\/h2>\r\nEnter the TEXT command, as shown below, to insert text on the drawing. (Figure Step 11)\r\n\r\nCommand: TEXT<\/strong>\r\n\r\nCurrent text style: \"Module 19-1\" Text height: 0.2000\r\n\r\n(The defaults will display. Ensure that Module 19-1 is the current default style.)<\/em><\/span>\r\n\r\nSpecify start point of text or [Justify\/Style]: 1,9<\/strong>\r\n\r\n(This is the insert point. By default, the text will be left justified)<\/em><\/span>\r\n\r\nSpecify height <0.2000>: 0.35<\/strong>\r\n\r\nSpecify rotation angle of text <0>:\r\n\r\n(Press Enter to leave the rotation angle at 0 degrees.)<\/em><\/span>\r\n\r\nTHIS IS MODULE 19<\/span>\r\n\r\n(Type the text and press Enter)<\/em><\/span>\r\n\r\n (Press Enter again)<\/em><\/span>\r\n\r\nCommand:\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1381\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"437\"]\"\" Figure Step 11[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n
\r\n

Step 12<\/h2>\r\nEnter the TEXT command, as shown below, to insert text on the drawing. (Figure Step 12)\r\n\r\nCommand: TE<\/strong>\r\n\r\nCurrent text style: \"Module 19-1\" Text height: 0.3500 Specify start point of text or [Justify\/Style]: 0.5,3.5 <\/strong>Specify height <0.3500>: 0.25<\/strong>\r\n\r\nSpecify rotation angle of text <0>: 45<\/strong>\r\n\r\nTHIS IS STYLE MODULES 19-1 <\/strong>\r\n\r\n(Press Enter)<\/em><\/span>\r\n\r\nINSERTED AT 0.25 TEXT HEIGHT<\/strong>\r\n\r\n(Press Enter)<\/em><\/span>\r\n\r\nIT IS ROTATED AT 45 DEGREES<\/strong>\r\n\r\n(Press Enter)<\/em><\/span>\r\n\r\nCommand:\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1382\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"509\"]\"\" Figure Step 12[\/caption]\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n

Step 13<\/h2>\r\nEnter the TEXT command, as shown below, to insert text on the drawing. (Figure Step 13)\r\n\r\nCommand: TE<\/strong>\r\n\r\nCurrent text style: \"Module 19-1\" Text height: 0.0250\r\n\r\nSpecify start point of text or [Justify\/Style]: J<\/strong>\r\n\r\nEnter an option [Align\/Fit\/Center\/Middle\/Right\/TL\/TC\/TR\/ML\/MC\/MR\/BL\/BC\/BR]: R<\/strong>\r\n\r\n(Setting a right justification.)<\/em><\/span>\r\n\r\nSpecify right endpoint of text baseline: 5,2<\/strong>\r\n\r\nSpecify height <0.2500>: 0.175<\/strong>\r\n\r\nSpecify rotation angle of text <45>: 0<\/strong>\r\n\r\nTHIS TEXT IS RIGHT JUSTIFIED.\u00a0 <\/strong>(Press Enter)<\/em><\/span>\r\n\r\nCommand:\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1383\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"482\"]\"\" Figure Step 13[\/caption]\r\n

Step 14<\/h2>\r\nSave and close the drawing.\r\n

WORKALONG: Editing Single Line Text<\/h1>\r\n

Step 1<\/h2>\r\nOpen the drawing: AutoCAD 2D Workalong 19-1<\/span>.\r\n

Step 2<\/h2>\r\nUsing the SAVEAS command, save it with the name: AutoCAD 2D Workalong 19-2<\/span>.\r\n

Step 3<\/h2>\r\nUsing what you learned in the first workalong, enter the STYLE command and create a new text style named: Module 19-2<\/span>. Set the text style to match the figure. (Figure Step 3)\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1396\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"500\"]\"\" Figure Step 3[\/caption]\r\n\r\n
USER TIP: <\/strong>The Style toolbar at the top of you Graphic window is very handy to execute the STYLE command or set the current text style. \"\"<\/strong><\/div>\r\n

Step 4<\/h2>\r\nEnable the display of layout: Module Layout A<\/span>. (Figure Step 4)\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1388\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"388\"]\"\" Figure Step 4[\/caption]\r\n

Step 5<\/h2>\r\nDouble click the text at the top of the drawing to enter edit mode. (Figure Step 5)\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1389\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"317\"]\"\" Figure Step 5[\/caption]\r\n

Step 6<\/h2>\r\nWith the text in edit mode, change the text to read THIS IS EDITED TEXT. (Figure Step 6)\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1390\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"279\"]\"\" Figure Step 6[\/caption]\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\nUSER TIP: <\/strong>If the text editor does not open when you double click the text object, enter the DBLCLKEDIT system variable, as shown below, and set to ON.\r\n\r\nCommand: DBLCLKEDIT<\/strong>\r\n\r\nEnter new value for DBLCLKEDIT <OFF>: ON\r\n\r\nCommand:\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n
MUST KNOW: <\/strong>In the Text Style dialogue box, the text height should almost always be set to zero. When it is set to zero, AutoCAD allows you to change the text height of text assigned that style. It also allows the text style to automatic scale text in a dimension.<\/div>\r\n

Step 7<\/h2>\r\nOpen the Properties window. Select the three lines of text as shown in the figure. While the text is selected, pull-down the Style property list and select layout: Module 19-2<\/span>. Press Enter and then Esc to clear the selected text. (Figure Step 7A and 7B)\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1391\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"500\"]\"\" Figure Step 7A[\/caption]\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1392\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"500\"]\"\" Figure Step 7B[\/caption]\r\n

Step 8<\/h2>\r\nSelect the bottom line of the rotated text as shown in the figure. In the Properties window, change the Rotation angle property to 30. (Figure Step 8)\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1394\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"500\"]\"\" Figure Step 8[\/caption]\r\n

Step 9<\/h2>\r\nWhile the text is selected, change the Contents property as shown in the figure. (Figure Step 9)\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1398\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"500\"]\"\" Figure Step 9[\/caption]\r\n

Step 10<\/h2>\r\nSelect the bottom text line. In the Properties window, change the Justification property to Middle, the Height property to 0.2, and the Contents property as shown in the figure. (Figure Step 10A, 10B, and 10C)\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1399\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"500\"]\"\" Figure Step 10A[\/caption]\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1400\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"500\"]\"\" Figure Step 10B[\/caption]\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1401\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"500\"]\"\" Figure Step 10C[\/caption]\r\n

Step 11<\/h2>\r\nDouble click the text and edit it as shown in the figure. (Figure Step 11)\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1402\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"372\"]\"\" Figure Step 11[\/caption]\r\n

Step 12<\/h2>\r\nYour completed layout should appear as shown in the figure. (Figure Step 12)\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_1403\" align=\"aligncenter\" width=\"367\"]\"\" Figure Step 12[\/caption]\r\n

Step 13<\/h2>\r\nSave and close the drawing.\r\n
\r\n\r\nUSER TIP: <\/strong>When using a pull down window with lists, such as the font list in the Text Style dialogue box, and you know the name of the font you want to use, enter the first letter of the font after you pullthe list down. The list will jump to the font names that start with that letter. This should work for all software written to Window's standards.\r\n\r\n\"\"\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n
MUST KNOW: <\/strong>The Standard text style is a special style and cannot be deleted or purged out of the drawing. It is best NOT to use this text style in your drawings. It is much better to create your own styles.<\/div>\r\n
USER TIP: <\/strong>The Styles toolbar has a Pull-down menu that you can use to set the current text style. This is a great feature to quickly change the current text style to speed drawing production. \"\"<\/div>\r\n
USER TIP: <\/strong>The text height, style, rotation angle, content, justification, width factor, and obliquing angle are text properties and can be changed in the Properties window. The font is controlled by the style property. If you want to change the font of an existing text object, change its style. Simply open the Properties window and single click the text to edit its properties.\"\"<\/div>\r\n

Key Principles<\/h1>\r\n
\r\n

Key Principles in Module 19<\/p>\r\n\r\n<\/header>\r\n

\r\n
    \r\n \t
  1. Single line text is text that is inserted as a single line, can be edited one line at a time, and each line is its own drawing object.<\/li>\r\n \t
  2. The text style defines the text properties, like the font and width of the text. To change the font of a text, its style property must be changed.<\/li>\r\n \t
  3. The text height should almost always be set to zero in the Text Style dialogue box.<\/li>\r\n \t
  4. The Standard text style is a special text style that is contained in every drawing. It cannot be deleted or purged. It is best not to use this text style in your drawings.<\/li>\r\n \t
  5. The text height, style, rotation angle, content, justification, width factor, and obliquing angle are text properties and can be changed in the Properties window.<\/li>\r\n \t
  6. To edit text, double click it. This will automatically open the Edit Text dialogue box with the selected text, ready to be edited. This is a very fast way to edit single line text and almost eliminates the use of the DDEDIT command. Text contents can also be edited in the Properties window.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n

    Learning Outcomes<\/p>\n<\/header>\n

    \n

    When you have completed this module, you will be able to:<\/p>\n

    1 Describe single line text, text style, and text justification.<\/p>\n

    2 Apply the STYLE, TEXT, and DDEDIT commands to format, insert, and edit single line text.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Text<\/h1>\n

    In this module, formatting, inserting, and editing single line text is taught. Single line text <\/em><\/span>is text that is inserted as a single line, is edited one line at a time, and each line is a individual drawing object. Module 25 teaches multiline text.<\/p>\n

    Text Style<\/h1>\n

    The STYLE command is used to create and format text styles plus used to set the current text style. A text style <\/em><\/span>contains text properties, is user created, named, and saved in the drawing. As many text styles as required can be created and saved in each drawing. The current text style <\/em><\/span>is the text style that will be assigned to text that is inserted in the drawing using the TEXT command.<\/p>\n

    A good example to explain text style is to use the text font. Font is a text property that is set in a text style. If you want to change the font of an existing text object on the drawing, the style property of the text must be changed. This is done using Properties window. Simply find the text style assigned to the selected text and then change the font property of that style. All existing text, with that style, will change to reflect the new font assigned. If you only want to change the font of the selected text, defined a new text style with the font required and change the style assigned to the selected text.<\/p>\n

    All AutoCAD drawings contain a text style named Standard. It is special style that cannot be deleted or purged from the drawing. It should not be used as it may cause problems in the drawing sometime in the future. The reason for this will be taught later in the book. For now, create your own text style or use ones that already exist.<\/p>\n

    Text Justification<\/h1>\n

    Text justification<\/span> <\/em>is a property attached to text objects that locates the text in relation to its insert point selected by the you in the TEXT command. There are many ways to justify text and it is important for you to know how, where, and when to use each one. In this module, the left<\/em><\/span>, middle<\/em><\/span>, and right<\/span> <\/em>justified text are taught. Figure 19-1 shows how a text object would justify itself if inserted at the selected locations P1, P2, and P3. If you do not specify a justification when inserting text, the default justification is left.<\/p>\n

    \"\"
    Figure 19-1 Text Justification<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Text Height<\/h1>\n

    Text height is a property assigned to the text drawing object and not to the text style. In almost all cases, the text height property, in the text style, should be set to zero. When it is set to zero, AutoCAD allows you to change the text height of text inserted with that style. It also allows the text style to automatic scale text in a dimension.<\/p>\n

    Key Principles in Module 19<\/p>\n<\/header>\n

    \n
      \n
    1. Single line text is text that is inserted as a single line, can be edited one line at a time, and each line is its own drawing object.<\/li>\n
    2. The text style defines the text properties, like the font and width of the text. To change the font of a text, its style property must be changed.<\/li>\n
    3. The text height should almost always be set to zero in the Text Style dialogue box.<\/li>\n
    4. The Standard text style is a special text style that is contained in every drawing. It cannot be deleted or purged. It is best not to use this text style in your drawings.<\/li>\n
    5. The text height, style, rotation angle, content, justification, width factor, and obliquing angle are text properties and can be changed in the Properties window.<\/li>\n
    6. To edit text, double click it. This will automatically open the Edit Text dialogue box with the selected text, ready to be edited. This is a very fast way to edit single line text and almost eliminates the use of the DDEDIT command. Text contents can also be edited in the Properties window.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
