&   System.int FlipDirection,
&   System.int HorizontalMirror,
&   System.int WidthFactor,
&   System.int SpaceBetweenChars
) 

Parameters

Ptx
X coordinate of starting point of text block
Pty
Y coordinate of starting point of text block
Ptz
Z coordinate of starting point of text block
Text

Text to insert (see Remarks)

Alignment
  • 0 = Left

  • 1 = Center

  • 2 = Right

  • 3 = Fully justified

(see Remarks)

FlipDirection

1 to flip text vertically about the selected entity, 0 to not (see Remarks)

HorizontalMirror

1 to flip text horizontally, 0 to not

WidthFactor

6 <= Percentage by which to evenly widen each character in the text block < = 1667

SpaceBetweenChars

1 <= Percentage of space between each character in the text block <= 10000; valid only if Alignment != 3

Return Value

Sketch text

Example

Remarks

Alignment and FlipDirection are valid only when a curve, edge, or sketch segment is selected. Text appears along the selected entity. If an entity is not selected, Text appears horizontally starting at the origin. Select the curve, edge, or sketch segment with Mark = 1.
