Okay, so let's start adding some text here.
Let me just so things like that, for instance, you can put 1 to 100, but I'm going to add some actual
room names, but I'm going to add some room names in here and just some marker text.
So up here we have text and we also have leader.
First thing I'm going to do is room name and I'm going to do those.
You could do them with single line text, but I prefer line text.
It just gives you a bit more control.
And I'm going to call this room zero one.
Okay, now.
You need to specify height.
Remember, our units are in millimeters.
So at the moment it's going to be set to 0.2mm.
Well, that's obviously going to be too small.
I'm going to go with 3.5mm and see how that looks.
Okay.
In the preview, it looks massive, but when we click close text editor, you can see that's a normal
size.
So I'm going to put that there.
And it actually it might be a bit too big.
Well, you can change the size.
You can either just select it and then if you don't have your properties up, right click properties
and your height is here.
So maybe we'll go down to 2.5.
Okay, like that.
Or you could double click it and you have your text editor here.
Same thing.
Doesn't really matter which way you do it.
Some people prefer one way to another.
What I'm going to do then is I'm going to copy it.
I'm going to turn ortho on.
So we keep them all in a line and I'm just going to copy these along like that and double click and
we can change them from three.
Room for.
There we go.
And now I will select all four.
And again, with all four one, I've lined up, pull them down, and then just edit this.
And this method of copying and editing is what most people use for things like this.
You don't necessarily want to be creating new geometry or text all the time if there's already text
in the drawing and it's to the right height and the right layer and the correct style, just copy a
piece of text and then edit it to suit.
That's far easier than coming up with new text every time.
So that would be your kind of tags, your room names.
Supposing I wanted to note in here, um, saying I don't know, reception to be fitted out as desired.
Let's just say.
Okay.
So with a note like that, you want an arrow on it, which would be leader.
A leader.
Okay.
Remember, arrows are called leaders.
So we can click leader.
And I'm going to turn off or off to get a nice angled line and I'm going to write the text.
Let me put that in a bit lower case actually.
Reception to be fitted out as desired.
I'm going to click out that well.
You can see it's too small.
So we need to change some properties here.
And if you remember from the chapter on dimensions, leaders are classed as a dimension.
Okay, so.
I'm going to set this to a this arrowhead.
I want close field.
I'm going to set it to 2.5, same as the text.
Generally you want it these figures to be the same as a text height to look good.
Okay.
And you can see we don't actually have.
Whereas with text you can drag this box and kind of do word wrap and things.
We don't have that here.
So under here you have width and the easiest thing to do is type in something, say 25.
That's just roughly correct.
And it will it will then allow you to get the grips and drag it around.
And once you get that, you can kind of drag this note.
And drag out that arrow, and you can make it look how you wish.
Okay.
And that's a general note.
And then again, if you add a bunch of notes on this drawing, the easiest thing to do is just copy
it.
Once you've set it up, just copy it and you could put in all sorts of notes.
I don't know, decoration notes, all sorts, but just create one and then copy it.
So there we go.
That's our notation on our drawing.
And if you wanted some notes up here, you could put in some.
Let's see.
Put in some text and draw the window like that.
And now you could type in all sorts of.
Um.
Suppose you want a general note like that and again, set the height and you can do that as M text.
Okay, so that's text.
So go ahead, put what you want on there.
If you're doing a different layout to me, add whatever text you need, but that's generally how you
do it.
And again, the text is in paper space.
It's not in model space, it's not in tiled model space, it's in paper space.
So next, we'll look at adding some dimensions.
