Add Text at Multiple Points Tool

What it Does

Puts the same note in several places on your pattern in one go. Use this when you want a note repeated, such as "Grainline" or "Cut 2". You click each spot, enter the text once, and every spot gets the same text, size, color, rotation and alignment.

How to Use

1. Activate the tool by clicking the Add Text at Multiple Points icon.
2. Click in the workspace where the first text should go.
3. Click the workspace again to move it, if needed, then select Continue.
4. Click in the workspace where the next text should go.
5. Select Another to add one more place, then click for it. Repeat as often as needed.
6. Select Continue when you have placed the last one.
7. Enter the Line Wrap Width. Lines of text longer than this are wrapped onto the next line. The default is about 5 inches (125 mm).
8. Enter your Text. Type \n where you want to start a new line.
9. Select Preview to see the text on the pattern.
10. Use the Rotation slider to turn the text so it lines up with other items.
11. Use the Font Size slider or input box to change the size of the text.
12. Choose to align the text left, center or right.
13. Choose the text color / style.
14. Select Save to keep the text, or Cancel to abort.

warning

The text stays where you placed it, even if you change the pattern afterward. Add your text last, after the pattern shapes are final.
