Notes and Labels

You can create and modify several types of text, including text with leaders.
You can control most text style settings by defining text styles.

Overview of Notes and Labels

You can create text in various ways. For short, simple entries, use single-line
text. For longer entries with internal formatting, use multiline text (mtext).
Although all entered text uses the current text style, which establishes the
default font and format settings, you can use several methods to customize
the text appearance. There are several tools that can change text scale and
justification, find and replace text, and check for spelling errors.
Text that is included in a dimension or tolerance is created using the
dimensioning commands. You can also create multiline text with leaders.
