- A Draft ShapeString can be edited by double-clicking it in the Tree view. introduced in version 0.20
- Supported fonts include TrueType (.ttf), OpenType (.otf) and Type 1 (.pfb).
- The command is restricted to left-to-right text. Right-to-left and top-to-bottom text are not supported.
- Very small text heights may result in deformed character shapes due to loss of detail in scaling.
- Fonts can generate problematic geometry. This is because font contours are allowed to overlap and have small gaps. These conditions are considered errors in wires used to define faces.
- Draft ShapeStrings can also be created with the Macro Fonts Win10 PYMP.
- To create Draft ShapeStrings arranged in a circular fashion use the Macro FCCircularText.
