AutoCAD Self-paced Learning Modules

AutoCAD 2D
Module 20
Text - Part 1
Learning Outcomes:
When you have completed this module, you will be able to:
1. Describe single line text, text style, and text justification.

2. Describe and apply the STYLE, DTEXT, and DDEDIT commands to format, insert and
edit text in an AutoCAD drawing.
Text
Text is a complex topic, therefore, what is taught in this module is an introduction only. You will
be shown how to format, insert, and edit single line text. Single line text is text that is inserted
as a single line, can be edited one line at a time, and each line is its own object.
Text Style
AutoCAD uses the STYLE command to create, format, and set the current text style. You can
define as many text styles as you wish for each drawing. The current text style is the text style
that will be used when text commands are used to insert text in the drawing.
When text is inserted in the drawing, the current text style is assigned as the style property to
that text. The text style defines text properties like the font and width of the text. To change the
font of a text, you must create a style with that font and then change the text style properties of
the text.
AutoCAD Command: STYLE

The STYLE command is used to create and format text style plus select the current text style.

Text Justification
Text justification is a property attached to the text that instructs it
how it is justified from its insert point. It uses the insert point you
selected as the base point for the justification. There are many
ways to justify text and it is important that you know how, where
and when to use each one. In this module, only the left, middle,
and right justified text are covered. Figure 20-1 shows how
each text would justify itself if inserted at the selected locations
P1,P2, and P3. If the justification is not specified when the text Figure 20-1
is inserted, it will be left justification as the default. Text Justification

The Styles toolbar has a pull-down menu that you

can use to set the current text style. This is a
great feature to quickly change the current text
style and will speed your drawing production.
See figure right.

Using the STYLE and DTEXT Commands 2008

For AutoCAD 2008 users only. If you are using AutoCAD 2000-2007, skip
to page 20-05).
Step 1 Start a new drawing using the template Module Template A.

Step 2 Save and name the drawing AutoCAD 2D Workalong 20-1.
Step 3 Enter the STYLE command. It will open the Text Style dialogue box as shown in
Figure Step 3.
Figure Step 3
Step 4 Click the New Button.
Step 5A This will open the New Text Style

dialogue box as shown in Figure Step 5A.
Figure Step 5A
Step 5B Enter Modules Romans in the Styles
Name box as shown in Figure Step 5B. Click
OK to save and close the dialogue box.
(This style name is a user created name, therefore
when you creates your own styles in the future, Figure Step 5B
give it a name that makes sense to you.)

(Once you pull-down the font name list, you can type the first letter of the name you are looking for.
In this case, R. That will force the list to jump directly to names that begin with the letter R.)

Author's Comments:
In almost all cases, leave the text height in the Text Style dialogue box set to zero. When it
is set to zero, the text height of text with that style can be set to any value desired. If it is
set to a value other then zero, you will not be allowed the change the text height for text
inserted with that style.

Step 9 Enter the DTEXT command shown below to enter text on the drawing. See Figure
Step 9.
Command: DTEXT
Current text style: "Modules Romans" Text height: 0.2000
(The defaults will display. Ensure that Modules Romans is
the current default style.)
Specify start point of text or [Justify/Style]: 1.5,10
(This is the insert point. It will be left justified text by
default.)
Specify height <0.2000>: 0.35
Specify rotation angle of text <0>:

In the Text Style dialogue box, the text height should almost always be set
to zero. When it is set to zero, AutoCAD allows the text being inserted with
that style to change the text height. It also allows the text style to automatic
scale text dimensions.

See Figure Step 11.
Command: DT

height: 0.0250
Specify start point of text or [Justify/Style]: J
Enter an option
[Align/Fit/Center/Middle/Right/TL/TC/TR/ML/MC

(Selecting a right justification.)
Specify right endpoint of text baseline: 5,3
Specify rotation angle of text <45>: 0
THIS TEXT IS RIGHT JUSTIFIED. (Press
enter)
(Press enter)
Command:
Figure Step 11
Step 12 Save and close the drawing.
The Standard text style is a special style and cannot be deleted or purged
out of the drawing. It is best NOT to use this text style in your drawings. It
is much better to create your own styles.
When using a pull down window with

lists, such as the font list in the style
command and you know the name of
the font you want to use, enter the first
letter of the font after you pull down the list. The list
will jump to the fonts that start with that letter. This
works for all software written to Window standards.

AutoCAD Command: DDEDIT

The DDEDIT command is used to edit single line text.
Shortcut: Double click the text.
2004-2008
2000-2002
If you double click the text you want to edit, the Edit Text dialogue box will
open automatically with the text you selected ready to be edited. This is a
very fast way to edit single line text and almost eliminates the use of the
DDEDIT command. Text contents can also be edited in the Properties
dialogue box.
The text height, style, rotation

angle, content, justification,
width factor, and obliquing are
text properties and can be
changed in the Properties
dialogue box. The font is controlled by the style
property. If you want to change the font of an
existing text object, change its style. Simply
open the Properties dialogue box and single
click the text to edit its properties.

Step 1 Open the drawing AutoCAD 2D Workalong 20-1 that you
completed in the last workalong. If you have not completed that drawing,
go back and do it before you continue on with this workalong.
Step 2 Enter the STYLE command and create a new text style named Modules Arial. Set
the text style to match Figure Step 2.

Module Standards - Filling out the Titleblock

1. When you are filling out the titleblock for the AutoCAD Modules, use the following standards:
2. Create a text style Modules Titleblock. Font: Arial.
3. Place text on layer Titleblock Text and text color White/Black. White and black are the same color
to AutoCAD. See Module 5 pages 5-6 or 5-8.
4. Use a text height that matches the area you are filling. You can decide what height to use. Make it
look pleasing to the eye. See below.
5. Center the text as best you can. It helps to use middle justified. In Module 22, you will be taught to
move the text around after you entered it. That makes the job easier.
6. See the example titleblocks below.
7. In the bottom row, fill it in with your actual name, the actual date, scale, drawing number, and sheet
number.
8. Date is in the format Month-Day-Year, MM-DD-YYYY

For example: 02-27-2006

The Key Principles in Module 20

1. Single line text is text that is inserted as a single line, can be edited one line at a time,
and each line is its own object.
2. The text style defines the text properties like the font and width of the text. To change the
font of a text, you must create a style with that font and then change the text style
property of the text.
3. In almost all cases, leave the text height in the Text Style dialogue box set to zero.
4. If you double click the text you want to edit, the Edit Text dialogue box will open
automatically with the text you selected ready to be edited. This is a very fast way to edit
single line text and almost eliminates the use of the DDEDIT command. Text contents
can also be edited in the Properties dialogue box.
5. The Standard text style is a special text that is automatically part of every drawing. It
cannot be deleted. It is best not to use this text style in your drawings.

Construction Techniques
The following steps are the construction technique suggested by the author to help you learn
how to construct objects using AutoCAD. It is only the suggested method and if you can
complete the drawing accurately using a different construct technique, that is what is important.
You may want to compare your construction technique with the authors.
Construction Hints
Do your best to complete the lab exercise drawing without using the following hint(s). If you get
stuck and can't complete it on your own, use the following hint(s) to help you.
Hint 1
Once you have drawn the outer boundary and the inner
construction lines (Step 3), use the OFFSET command to
construct most of the remaining drawing.
Hint 2
Before you insert the fillets, trim the lines as shown in Figure
Hint 2. If you do not trim them first, you will lose portions of
the lines required and you will have to redraw them.
