AutoCAD Text Align: Tuesday Tips With Heidi
AutoCAD Blog | Autodesk: Simply select the text objects to align and then pick the text you want them to align with or select points to manually define the alignment line.
I had no idea you could take individual lines of text and format them this way. So that is pretty cool. I have always been using options like “fit” and other snaps to get my text to end up where I want it. This toggle holds a lot of functionality for certain layouts I have done in the past, one of the more obvious ones being the breakdown pages for Three Musketeers’ hole drilling patterns. I had multiple sticks on one page all in a row, and each stick had its own labels, which weren’t the most aesthetically pleasing if they weren’t close enough to on-center for someone to notice. Also, the labels for the actual holes weren’t always in the proper places. Being able to set spacing and aligning text using specific points is a great layout tool that I will definitely be taking advantage of in the future.
