Add Text Between Points Tool

What it Does​

Writes a note centered halfway between two points and turned to follow the line from the first point to the second. Use this to label a seam or an edge, such as "Center Front" along a straight line. You choose the size, color and alignment, and which side of the line the text sits on.

How to Use​

  1. Activate the tool by clicking the Add Text Between Points icon.
  2. Select the two points to place the text between, then select Continue.
  3. Enter the Line Wrap Width. Lines of text longer than this are wrapped onto the next line. The default is the distance between the two points.
  4. Enter your Text. Type \n where you want to start a new line.
  5. Select Preview to see the text on the pattern.
  6. Select Other Side to put the text on the other side of the line between the points.
  7. Use the Font Size slider or input box to change the size of the text.
  8. Choose to align the text left, center or right.
  9. Choose the text color / style.
  10. Select Save to keep the text, or Cancel to abort.
