1
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,000
Okay, so let's start adding some text here.

2
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:18,000
Let me just so things like that, for instance, you can put 1 to 100, but I'm going to add some actual

3
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:24,000
room names, but I'm going to add some room names in here and just some marker text.

4
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:29,000
So up here we have text and we also have leader.

5
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:33,000
First thing I'm going to do is room name and I'm going to do those.

6
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,000
You could do them with single line text, but I prefer line text.

7
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,000
It just gives you a bit more control.

8
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:46,000
And I'm going to call this room zero one.

9
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Okay, now.

10
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,000
You need to specify height.

11
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,000
Remember, our units are in millimeters.

12
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,000
So at the moment it's going to be set to 0.2mm.

13
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Well, that's obviously going to be too small.

14
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:07,000
I'm going to go with 3.5mm and see how that looks.

15
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:07,000
Okay.

16
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:15,000
In the preview, it looks massive, but when we click close text editor, you can see that's a normal

17
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,000
size.

18
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,000
So I'm going to put that there.

19
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,000
And it actually it might be a bit too big.

20
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,000
Well, you can change the size.

21
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:30,000
You can either just select it and then if you don't have your properties up, right click properties

22
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,000
and your height is here.

23
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:35,000
So maybe we'll go down to 2.5.

24
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Okay, like that.

25
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Or you could double click it and you have your text editor here.

26
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,000
Same thing.

27
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:45,000
Doesn't really matter which way you do it.

28
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,000
Some people prefer one way to another.

29
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,000
What I'm going to do then is I'm going to copy it.

30
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,000
I'm going to turn ortho on.

31
00:01:52,000 --> 00:02:01,000
So we keep them all in a line and I'm just going to copy these along like that and double click and

32
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,000
we can change them from three.

33
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,000
Room for.

34
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:09,000
There we go.

35
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:13,000
And now I will select all four.

36
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,000
And again, with all four one, I've lined up, pull them down, and then just edit this.

37
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:27,000
And this method of copying and editing is what most people use for things like this.

38
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:36,000
You don't necessarily want to be creating new geometry or text all the time if there's already text

39
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:41,000
in the drawing and it's to the right height and the right layer and the correct style, just copy a

40
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,000
piece of text and then edit it to suit.

41
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:48,000
That's far easier than coming up with new text every time.

42
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,000
So that would be your kind of tags, your room names.

43
00:02:52,000 --> 00:03:02,000
Supposing I wanted to note in here, um, saying I don't know, reception to be fitted out as desired.

44
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,000
Let's just say.

45
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:04,000
Okay.

46
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:10,000
So with a note like that, you want an arrow on it, which would be leader.

47
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,000
A leader.

48
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:11,000
Okay.

49
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,000
Remember, arrows are called leaders.

50
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,000
So we can click leader.

51
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:23,000
And I'm going to turn off or off to get a nice angled line and I'm going to write the text.

52
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,000
Let me put that in a bit lower case actually.

53
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:38,000
Reception to be fitted out as desired.

54
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,000
I'm going to click out that well.

55
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,000
You can see it's too small.

56
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,000
So we need to change some properties here.

57
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:54,000
And if you remember from the chapter on dimensions, leaders are classed as a dimension.

58
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:55,000
Okay, so.

59
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:03,000
I'm going to set this to a this arrowhead.

60
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,000
I want close field.

61
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,000
I'm going to set it to 2.5, same as the text.

62
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:14,000
Generally you want it these figures to be the same as a text height to look good.

63
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,000
Okay.

64
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:19,000
And you can see we don't actually have.

65
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:24,000
Whereas with text you can drag this box and kind of do word wrap and things.

66
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,000
We don't have that here.

67
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:32,000
So under here you have width and the easiest thing to do is type in something, say 25.

68
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,000
That's just roughly correct.

69
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,000
And it will it will then allow you to get the grips and drag it around.

70
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:40,000
And once you get that, you can kind of drag this note.

71
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,000
And drag out that arrow, and you can make it look how you wish.

72
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:46,000
Okay.

73
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,000
And that's a general note.

74
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:55,000
And then again, if you add a bunch of notes on this drawing, the easiest thing to do is just copy

75
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:55,000
it.

76
00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Once you've set it up, just copy it and you could put in all sorts of notes.

77
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:07,000
I don't know, decoration notes, all sorts, but just create one and then copy it.

78
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,000
So there we go.

79
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,000
That's our notation on our drawing.

80
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,000
And if you wanted some notes up here, you could put in some.

81
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,000
Let's see.

82
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:24,000
Put in some text and draw the window like that.

83
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,000
And now you could type in all sorts of.

84
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:31,000
Um.

85
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:50,000
Suppose you want a general note like that and again, set the height and you can do that as M text.

86
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,000
Okay, so that's text.

87
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,000
So go ahead, put what you want on there.

88
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:00,000
If you're doing a different layout to me, add whatever text you need, but that's generally how you

89
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:00,000
do it.

90
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,000
And again, the text is in paper space.

91
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:06,000
It's not in model space, it's not in tiled model space, it's in paper space.

92
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,000
So next, we'll look at adding some dimensions.
