NOTE These instructions are based on one of the annotation tool configurations
provided with the software. Depending on customization, the same tool may or
may not appear on your Annotation tool palette. However, the same basic
procedure applies to any annotation tool configuration in which the Content type
is set to Mtext, the Leader type is set to Straight, and the Default text is unspecified
(--). Leader properties can be modified on the Tool Properties worksheet of the
annotation tool. Any unspecified properties use the leader settings in effect for
the current drawing, which can be modified using the Leader Settings dialog box.
A basic Text Tool is also included in the Stock Tool Catalog in your Content
Browser.
1 On the Annotation tool palette, click the Text (Straight Leader)
tool.
Alternatively, you can click Annotate tab ➤ Keynoting
panel ➤ Text drop-down ➤ Text (Straight Leader).
2 Specify the starting point for the leader. (This determines where
the leader arrow is displayed.)
3 Specify one or more additional points to create the desired leader,
and then press ENTER.
4 Press ENTER to accept the default width for the annotation, or
specify a width either by entering a value or by specifying a second
point.
5 Enter the first line of text, and press ENTER to indicate the end of
the line.
6 Press ENTER again to indicate the end of the annotation, or repeat
Step 4 for each subsequent line of text.
