Width

Enter the required character width (not available for True-type fonts).

Angle

Enter the required text angle.

Constrained

This option is only available for text entities that have been created with the Text - Between two points tool. This forces the angle of the text to be the same as the angle between the two points. Switch the option off to remove that constraint.

Orientation

From the drop-down list select Die-face, Print-face or Always readable. (These terms could be different, depending on the Terminology in use.

Mirror

Select the mirror options as required.

Bounded

Switch this option on to force the text entity to be contained within a bounding box, the size of which is specified below. This option is not available if Constrained is switched on.

Bound height

Enter the height of the bounding box.

Bound width

Enter the width of the bounding box.

Word wrapping

When the text is constrained to a bounding box, switch this option on to enable word-wrapping. If the option is switched off then words will be split to enable the text to exactly fit to the width of the box.

Vertical align

From the drop-down box select Top, Centre or Bottom.
