If this is required, then either use the standard Express tool command or alternatively install Lee Mac’s Slinkytext routine, which I will discuss in a future post. One limitation however is that it has no option to get text to flow along a curve. It also works with any UCS, View settings or Annotative Text Styles. The application will also work with nested (to any depth) blocks or xrefs. Suitable elements to align the text to include: If working with MText, there is an option to toggle the background Mask. With the 'Readability' setting enabled, text is automatically set to ‘right reading’ and will always appear the right way up.
In this text, we will concentrate on learning the principles of. Shortcut keys like + and - can adjust the offset distance whereas adjusts the angle. If you find the editing of DraftSights start-up script difficult you may have to use. Text is dynamically aligned in real-time, with the text offset and rotation relative to the curve adjustable by the user. It is also possible to set multiple copies of a text element to the selected curve if the 'Multiple Text Mode' is chosen from the menu. The routine can either set an existing text to a curve or create a new text element to a curve as desired. This program enables the user to dynamically align new or existing Text or MText objects to a curve, with a range of placement controls from the command-line. There are many other AutoCAD text routines, one of these is Lee Mac’s Align Text to Curve routine. The command can also be used to modify existing arcalignedtext elements.Īlternatively access the properties palette to modify existing parameters. This is because conventional text objects cannot be set to flow along the shape of the curve.Įxecute the command and a dialogue will display allowing the formatting options, fonts, size and string to be set. Instead, this routine uses a unique AutoCAD text type ‘arcalignedtext’. The text placed with this command is not the normal text types that are typical in a drawing i.e. To help with this task AutoCAD has the Express tool arc aligned text. These annotations need to often follow a curved shape and this can be a little difficult with AutoCAD standard editing tools. A common task when creating plans of road layouts, is the placement of such features like Street names.
