Text

This option, also available by selecting Schematic > Graphics > Text on the ribbon, adds to the symbol an editable text label in 12-point Arial. To edit the text string immediately after placement, type the text you want, then press Enter or click elsewhere in the editor grid.

To change just the text of an existing label:

Other properties of a label, include its color, font, size, angle of rotation, and justification. You can also add a box around the text. The box’s fill color and style, border color and width, the position of its center, its width, height, and angle of rotation can be set independently of the associated text. To edit these properties:

1. Do one of the following:
   • Click the label and view its properties in the Properties pane.
   • Double-click the label and view its properties in the Properties dialog box.
   • Right-click the label and select Properties to view its properties in the Properties dialog box.
2. Click in the Value cell for the property you want to modify.
3. Modify the value.
4. Click OK, or click in another Value cell to commit the change and keep editing values.
