Text

Here you can define the text parameters for the labeling (font size, type, etc.).

Height / width / ratio of height to width

Enter the height, width or ratio of height to width of the text width. Enter the height and width of the text in line with the configured length unit stated in [mm] or [inches]. See also Relationship between reference scale and text size.

If you change one of these parameters, an additional parameter will be automatically changed.

• If you change the height, the width will be changed in line with the configured ratio.
• If you change the width, the ratio will be changed in line with the corresponding height.
• If you change the ratio, the width will be changed in line with the corresponding height.

Font

Here you can select the font type. You also have the 20 Allplan fonts to choose from alongside the system fonts.

Emphasis

Here you can define the Bold, Italic, Underline and Crossed out formatting for the entire text by clicking on the respective button.

With regard to Allplan fonts, the Bold and Crossed out formats do not have any impact on the text.

Angle for Allplan font in italic type

Define the angle at which text that has been formatted in italics is displayed for Allplan fonts here.

Color

Use this to define the text color. The text color is only displayed in the draft window if the Color stands for pen option is off.

Color stands for pen means that the color used to display an element on the screen is associated with (and thus dependent on) its pen thickness. Elements drawn with a certain pen (or pen thickness) always appear on the screen in the same color, regardless of the colors assigned to the individual elements. You can specify which color represents which pen in the Options on the Desktop environment - Pen colors page. You can turn the Color stands for pen option on and off in Show/Hide (How).

Activate Show/Hide in one of the following ways

• Menu bar: View

• Title bar: Quick Access Toolbar View

Layer

Specify the text layer.

Frame

Border around paragraph text

If this option is selected, a border will be drawn around the text with the Offset, Pen thickness, Line type and Color properties defined here.

Note: The offset of the border defined here is also used for the fill offset around the text, even if the Border around paragraph text option is disabled.

Background

Background color

Here you can select whether blanking applies to the text you enter; in other words, the program draws a fill around the text. This ensures that you can always read the text even if you have placed it on top of a pattern or hatching, for example.

In terms of the background color, you can use either Background color of viewports, which is set in Options - Display, or another custom color.

Note: The value configured for the fill offset around the border is used for the fill offset around the border.

Miscellaneous

Column angle

Here you can enter the column angle in degrees. Every new line of text is indented in accordance with the column angle specified.

Constant size in layout
