When you place text in a drawing, whether that text is part of a note, a dimension,
00:09
a table or a multi leader.
00:11
The appearance of that text is initially determined by its textile.
00:16
The textile determines characteristics of the text
00:19
such as the font and oblique angle.
00:23
When you create text,
00:25
you can use any textile that has already been defined in the drawing.
00:30
When placing a text object, it is created using the current textile,
00:35
you can select the desired textile from a gallery before you start the text command
00:41
or you can choose a different style.
00:43
After starting the single line or multi line text command,
00:48
the textile gallery appears on both the home ribbon
00:52
in the expanded annotation panel
00:56
and on the annotate ribbon in the text panel.
01:00
The program comes with two predefined textiles standard and annotative.
01:06
You can also create your own custom textiles

01:13
on the annotate ribbon
01:15
