Create Letters

[cbmarco]

I need to "Create Letters". I'm receiving the nomenclature via a Word doc, from engineering to apply to the machined part. Is there a way to "center justify" the text? I'm not seeing the option anywhere to make this happen. I've highlited the text and right clicked to see the "right to left reading order" option. That will only justify the text from left to right. I'm not seeing "center justify" in the "TrueType" options nor the "drafting options". I'm not able to bring the text in from the Word doc center justified. It just defaults to the left.

Alignment / Center is available on the Note Text Properties page.

One you select a True Type Font on the Letters page the Drafting OPtions button will become available

and you can set the desired alignment.

Once you're done use Edit/Trim/Break/Break drafing into lines to create

geometry you can chain ( and engrave)

sometimes i'll create letters on a 1000" arc and make the center y-1000 and you will have what looks straight centered.

 

also i've used bounding box to get center of text.
