Add a text feature to a layer.
If you want to add cartographic text to your HPD source, you must run the SQL script as described in Add Cartographic Features to Source. |
If you do not run the script, you can only add text as a temporary change feature (tmpchg). See the Create Temporary Change command. |
You can set the formatting options in the toolbar or select a text style from the list before you add the text.
Always check the toolbar settings before adding text. Toolbar settings are remembered from the last selected text and will be applied to any new text if you do not change them first. |
For complete information about creating new features, see Create Features.
