Text tool

Intro​

Create and edit text in the Viewport.

The Text tool can be used to create a container and enter Text directly in the Viewport.

UI​

  • Click in the Viewport to create a Text Shape with a Text Box that is automatically set to fit the text.
  • Click + drag in the Viewport to create an area to enter text within. Text will wrap within the Text Box.

Depending on which method above is used to create a Text Shape will determine whether the Text Box Size is set automatically or user defined. This can be changed in the Attribute Editor by checking/unchecking the Auto checkboxes on the Text Box Size attribute.

  • Resize the Text Box using the handles on the corners and edges. This requires Auto to be unchecked on the Text Box Size attribute.
  • Move the Text using the Transform widget (top left).
  • Increase/decrease the Font Size using the Resize Text widget (bottom right).
