Text on Line

This command creates text aligned by the selected linework. In the options dialog, you set the text string to create, height, layer, style, color, justification and text entity type. The Text Offset controls the distance between the linework and the text. The Slide option allows you to graphically place the text. The User Current Drawing Properties option will use the current layer, style and color from the drawing instead of the dialog.
