Adding a Standard Text from a Dictionary

Dictionaries contain standard texts (names and marking conventions) that all drawing designers should use.

Dictionaries can be grouped so that it is easier for the user to find a dictionary belonging to a specific category. The user can pick a one or several texts at a time from a dictionary.

The dictionary is selected in the dialog box when adding a text. One or more text lines can be added from the dictionary to the drawing at once.

Text added from a dictionary can be edited and removed similarly to ordinary text.

Add text from a dictionary as follows:

1. Select the text type from the Texts menu. The standard text will be added as the selected text type.
2. If necessary, open the advanced Text dialog box by clicking the Advanced button.
3. Select the dictionary from the Previous Texts / Standard Texts list.
4. Select all the lines you want to add from the list, and click the Add button.
5. Change the text properties, if necessary.
6. Select the text location.

The users can maintain and supplement the dictionaries themselves.
