Text

The Text tool lets you add text to your projects. You can add text to a default plane, a face, or a construction plane. Text is created as sketch profiles and can be used for solid features in the same way as any other sketch.
To use the Text tool:

1. Determine how you want the text to be added to your model.
   • To add text to a default plane:
     1. Adjust your view to look normal to the desired plane.
     2. Go to Sketch > Text.
   • To add text to an existing face or construction plane:
     1. Pre-select an existing planar face or construction plane.
     2. In the Adaptive User Interface menu at the left, select Add Text.
        Note: You may need to select More to access the Add Text tool.
        
2. Use the Add Text dialog to define the text.
   • Enter the text into the Content field.
   • Adjust the Font, Height, and Alignment settings.
     Note: Shapr3D recognizes all fonts installed on your device.
3. Select Continue.
4. Position the text using the gizmo.
   
5. Select Done.
