Tool	Use
	Horizontal Text	You can use this to write horizontal text.
	Vertical Text	You can use this to write vertical text.
	Aligned Text	You can use this to write text at an angle. You can define the angle either by clicking a line with which the text is to be aligned or by entering the angle as a numerical value.
	Text Leader	You can use this to draw a leader from the text to an element in the drawing.
	Text with Numbering	You can use this tool to place text which is numbered automatically. You can define the format, reference value and increment value for the numbering. Every time you place text, the program automatically increments the number by the value you have specified.
	Change Text Parameters	You can use this tool to change the parameters of text lines and paragraph text. To modify just single text lines or paragraphs, you can also select this command on the shortcut menu. The shortcut menu appears when you right-click an element or the empty workspace. Depending on the element clicked, relevant edit tools are made available.

	Anchor Point	You can use this tool to set or move an anchor point for text and to delete existing anchors. Use this option when you want your text to be placed at a constant distance from a specific point in your drawing. Whenever you move the point, the text will move accordingly. You might use this tool to position text at a constant offset from the corner of a layout prior to printing.
	Align Text	You can use this tool to align text left, right or horizontally. The texts are aligned with the one furthest left, furthest right, at the top or at the bottom.
	Resize Text	You can use this tool to resize text in the x-direction and y-direction by specifying a factor. The text's reference point serves as the fixed point for the operation.
