Lecture Guide

CREATING TEXT

TEXT is used to label the various components of your drawing and to create the
necessary shop or field noted for fabrication and construction of your design. It can
be compressed, stretched, inclined, mirrored, or drawn in a vertical column by
applying a style. Each text string can be sized, rotated, and justified to meet your
drawing needs.

Types of Text Command

Offline Activities
1. MTEXT (T, MT) creates several paragraphs of text as a single multiline
(e-Learning/Self-
text (MTEXT) object. With the built-in editor, you can format the text
Paced) appearance, colors, spacing, justification, style, height, width, boundaries and
other text attributes.

Source: Autodesk

Guide in using MTEXT Command:

A. Command MTEXT (T, MT) (enter)
B. Pick two (2) points at the drawing area.
C. A TEXT EDITOR will appear

Guide in using TEXT EDITOR: (See figure 12)

1. Font style
2. Height
3. Text color

4. Justification (left, right, center or middle)
5. Close Text Editor

2. TEXT or DTEXT (DT) creates a single-line text object. Using TEXT or

DTEXT you can create one or more lines of text, where each text line is an
independent object that you can move, format, or otherwise modify.

Guide in using DTEXT Command:

A. Command TEXT or DTEXT or DT (enter) (Note: if you don’t want to change
the Justification and Style of the text proceed to step D.)
B. Select or type JUSTIFY (J) to change text justification (optional)
C. Select or type STYLE (S) to change text style (optional)
D. Pick a point
E. Type the text height (ex. 12 )
F. Type the rotation of the text. (ex. 0 )

JUSTIFY controls the justification of the text. (See figure 11)

Enter an option
[Align/Fit/Center/Middle/Right/TL/TC/TR/ML/MC/MR/BL/BC/BR]:

Align specifies both text height and text orientation by designating the
endpoints of the baseline.
The size of the characters adjusts in proportion to their height. The longer the
text string, the shorter the characters are.

Fit specifies that text fits within an area and at an orientation defined with two
points and a height.
The longer the text string, the narrower the characters are. The height of the
characters remains constant.

Center aligns the text from the horizontal center of the baseline, which you
specify with a point.

Middle aligns text at the horizontal center of the baseline and the vertical
center of the height you specify. Middle-aligned text does not rest on the
baseline.

Right justifies the text at the baseline, which you specify with a point.
TL (Top Left) justifies text at the point specified for the top of the text.
TC (Top Center) centers text at a point specified for the top of the text.
TR (Top Right) justifies text at the point specified for the top of the text.
ML (Middle Left) justifies text at the point specified for the middle of the text.
MC (Middle Center) centers the text both horizontal and vertical at the
middle of the text.
Note: The MC option differs from MIDDLE option in that it uses the midpoint of
the height of the uppercase letters. The
MIDDLE option uses the midpoint of all the text, including descenders.

MR (Middle Right) justifies text at the point specified for the middle of the
text.
BL (Bottom Left) justifies text at the point specified for the baseline.
BC (Bottom Center) centers text at a point specified for the baseline.

follows the curve of a selected arc.
Guide in using ARCTEXT:
1. Draw an ARC. (Note: you cannot use ARCTEXT command without an arc)
2. Then command ARCTEXT.
3. And click the arc that you have created. (See Figure 14 to edit ArcAlignedText
Workshop)
