Description

This tool asks the user for a location point, then, in a textbox, text can be entered.

Usage

  • Picking a point on an empty area of the 3d view, or on an existing object.
  • Pressing CTRL will snap your point to available snap locations.
  • Enter numbers to manually insert a coordinate.
  • Pressing ESC will cancel the operation.
  • The newly created text will take the current linestyle.
  • When editing the text, pressing ENTER or DOWN ARROW allow you to edit a next line of text.
  • Pressing UP ARROW allows you to edit a previous line of text.
  • Pressing ENTER twice (thus leaving the last line empty) adds the text to the document and closes the editor.
  • Several parameters such as font and size can be changed in the text object's properties, and the defaults can be set in the preferences.
