Adding Text to a Schematic

Follow this procedure to add text to a schematic:

  1. Select Draw > Primitive > Text or select Schematic > Graphics > Text on the ribbon. This enables text mode.
  2. Move the cursor to the desired location in the schematic and left click. This places a highlighted text box with Default Text written and highlighted within it.
  3. Type in the text box to replace the default text.
  4. Right-click the text box and select Properties to open the Properties dialog box. You can edit the text’s properties, including color, location (coordinates), angle of rotation, size, font, and justification. Select or clear the check box to toggle display of a bounding rectangle. When displayed, additional rectangle properties can be displayed including: border color and width, fill color and style, the rectangle’s center coordinates, width, height, and angle of rotation. Note that the rectangle center and angle can differ from the text center and angle.
  5. Click anywhere on the schematic to deselect the text.
