Creating Text Markers

Text lets you annotate your documents by creating text markers.

  1. Select an object in the 3D area to which you want to link the marker.

    Notes:
    • You can select multiple objects before clicking the command to link the marker to all the preselected objects. The marker is created with multiple leaders.
    • After clicking the command, you can click in the 3D area to create the marker without any link to any object.

  2. Select the text marker type and then the text template to configure the text marker.
  3. Enter the text in the text editor box and click OK .
    The text marker is created.

  4. To change the leader type, select the marker and click the required leader type on the context toolbar
  5. Optional: To link the marker to a new object,
    1. Right-click the marker and select Add Leader.
    2. Select the object in the 3D area.
    The marker is linked to the object.

  6. Optional: To remove the link with an object, right-click the leader extremity handle and select Remove Leader.
  7. To create a positional link:
    1. Right-click the text marker, and select Positional link > Create.
    2. Select an object from the tree.
  8. To replace or delete the positional link:
    1. Right-click the text marker, and select Positional link > Replace.
    2. Select another object to create a new positional link.
    3. Right-click the text marker, and select Positional link > Delete.

    Note: A positional link allows to ensure that the text box position of the text marker follows the position of the associated object. The leaders may point to their own objects.
