Drawing Tools: Text Annotations
Text annotations can be easily added, edited and customized (colour, font, size etc). Pre-defined Auto Text can be used to add labels which identify material properties, analysis parameters, vertex coordinates and more.
Material names
Vertex coordinates added using Auto Text
Add text dialog - text can be typed in the area at left, or Auto Text can be added using the checkboxes at the right.
Dynamic text is also available. Dynamic text allows you to add text boxes which will automatically update themselves according to the properties of the current model. This allows you to define one set of labels, which can then be used for multiple models (e.g. if you are performing parametric analysis).
