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. The Hide Drawing Under Labels creates a Wipeout entity under the text label. The Selection method by Individual prompts for a line or polyline segment to place a single text label at a time. The Crossing Line method prompts to pick two points in the drawing and places the text label at every linework intersection along the line between the two points.
