Text

Use the Text tool to add text to your designs. You can add text to a default plane or to an existing face or construction plane. Text is created as sketch regions 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 in your design. Use the appropriate procedure below.
   • To add text to a default plane (Front, Top, Right):
     1. Adjust your view to look normal to the desired plane.
     2. Go to Add > 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.
     
     
     
3. Select Continue.
4. Position the text using the gizmo.
   
   
   
5. Select Done.
   

Note: Once the Text tool is completed, the text can only be edited as sketch elements.

💡 Tip: If you have chosen a font that produces discontinuous sections, you may need to adjust the sketch before the text can be used for a solid feature.
