ProgeCAD: Express Tools (Text) - Feature Video Lecture | ProgeCAD Tutorial: Learn and Expertise - Design Softwares

let's manipulate some text on project
2011 professional using Express tools on
this drawing as you can see I have set
up some objects including some single
line text as well as to touch upon and
the number here okay what is expressed
to express to is an additional tool that
is provided in project 2011 professional
Edition is on the menu itself look at
the menu Express go to text let's try
one by one let's go to Texas Pete what
does it do
let's click on it that's the lack of
single line things okay at the bottom we
will see the command that's on your
employee automatically they will insert
the start point for you but for example
if you don't want the start point to be
at the insertion point of the single
line text you can type s
specify a new starting point I have a
line drawn here which is about 35 meters
so let's click on the back nine and now
we click on the end point erase the line
so the line the fax has been reduced to
that particular line as you can see has
reduced the size of the text as well
let's try another one text read click
the text can see both detector
the line has been faxed line has been
shortened the tax wording everything has
been twisting ok let's try on the two
packs bond see how look like stressful
again click on it again automatic needle
select the insertion point as the
starting point let's assume this is the
point that you wanted as you can see it
fit the line that you have clicked and
you reduced the width off for your
letter rings this is a function of text
speed now let's go to the second
function second oh man will be text
masked mass attack
so let's try
these tax select the entities okay once
they're selected you satisfy your
selection you can select multiple
entities let's select one and the mask
type we do it as wipe out offset we go
four point three five enter proceed now
the text has been mask with so call a
rectangular box you can try moving
towards an object and see what house
effect
how's the effect of the tax itself as
you can see it masks the object and the
text is only visible so you can actually
increase the width of the rectangular
box we go to express tools again text
mask select the entity again and the
offset let's put it at one enter proceed
as you can see the Box actually increase
so yes this is quite useful when you
want to highlight effects over an object
let's move this to the center of the
rectangular box two rectangular boxes
now it is mask so how do I mask it is
very simple let's go to text and mass
text click the box and mask so this is
the effect of the normal text over an
object where else the earlier example
will be the effect of a max mask tax the
difference between mass text and also
unmask text
so like this again coarsely now this is
the difference as you can see okay let's
go into explode tax so what is the
function simply to explode the text text
is actually a block so how you do you
just click on the text itself and
explode it so instead of a block for
example like this the above text is a
block that you can see this is you can
edit thanks
where else if is already exploded you
become lines you no longer able to edit
this text but in the comment line object
what house effect for the backbone
thanks
done now he has transformed into Jack's
lines objectives polylines objectives
and the solid has been removed from the
back so you can put it on this moving
the objects will be you have to select
multiple objects to move this is for
maybe Lobos want to draw your company
logos just part of an example
that you want to explore effective so
now let's look at the other function
which is for what effects single line
packed into multiple things it is all
sorry this is these are all single line
techniques so I want to convert it into
multiple line facts what I do is
highlight the three of these objects and
that automatically it will be
transformed into a multi-line text
double-clicking the multi-line text box
dialog box will pop up for you to do
anything you can adjust the default
attack transformation
so it transformed into a multi-line
thanks for you
unfortunately there is no single
multiple line to transform to signalize
combined for you or you have to do is
copy and paste on to the drawing itself
let's look into justifying text
justifying taxes I create the same as
cutting it let these Center me the right
top left top center exit Ron this is it
both to the next one will take tax we
can accurate eight attacks to a certain
degree an absolute certain degree for
example to protect it to 45 degree i
senator I select the entities and I type
45 now you have the bracket rotated 45
degree
of course you can use the command to
rotate this as well the modify commands
will change it basically is a button is
a shortcut which is written in lipstick
on the lips now enclose text with an
object so what does it do let's do all
the enclose the facts with an object
select the entity or multiple entities
as you wish select enter the distance
offset of factor for example we leave it
as point three five and one a
rectangular or slot or the third let's
try the origin you loafers
constant or variable let's try the
constant enter one the maintain the
concerns of is the height of both well
in salad bowl we do mean you can see
rectangular box is drawn in between the
tax visit you draw another entity on an
object over the stack so it's actually
different from masking the tax again
this is use this object and this time we
use point five rectangular again this
time we leave it as variable done this
is point five okay you raised it let's
try the other one which is under slot
click this enter and slot type ls'
variable enter sorry enter enter now you
can see the line slot has been drawn you
can also draw it manually you know you
can draw two lines and then draw an arc
or work over on both ends of the lines
it's basically the same but this is an
easier method for you so you can
actually move that slot and you may want
to highlight the text itself using this
method okay the sucker is basically
drawing a circle over the text so you
can explain experiment yourself so let's
go into the second last command in the
express to vortex which is automatic
text numbering this is for interesting
for example you have
numerous numbering to do for example in
a cadet row or in some of the developer
drawings they may have copper cap ox you
need to do the numbering on the copper
so in order to do that I'm bring you
will have to like draw the number one
and then you change it double-click
change it to two three four and so forth
so let's draw it in a simpler way I have
some numbering here okay I have already
clicked the automatic text numbering now
we select the entities the other
entities has been selected enter we go
by the Select orders you can try the x
and y axis this example will go for the
Select orders enter specify the stopping
starting number let's say go under one
hundred and increment of one will either
your prefix prefix suffix buying and
replace prefix will place the number in
front of the existing number
well suffix will place the number be
higher of the existing number let's go
for all right
oh yeah transform into hundred 101 and
so forth so this is for easy
manipulation of text our numbering so
that you do not have to for example
double-click is just to change one - no
- like this 1 0 3 1 0 for some sort like
a shortcut for you to actually change
the numbering now let's say for example
change this to 1 0 9 1 1 0 is a bit
messy so that you might you might you
might mix up some numbering as you can
see 0 I miss out the 1 and be soggy
I have double for I I have the 9 and the
6 on the different area on the different
location ok want to change it all back
to the same according through sequence
and Ursula order again hundred increment
of 1 over right done very simple the
other the text will automatically change
the number automatically change to
and order that you wanted either
increasing or increasing number
depending on the selection itself now
let's look at the last command last
comma is basically very simple it just
changed the text case for example this
you don't change the text case just
highlight these and they do click the
entity enter let's go for uppercase or
sentence case let's go for upper case
more obvious transformation uppercase o
what we do we want to change the case
into the center space click done and
deep the tea has been capitalized in
let's change the whole case you know the
capital change into smaller case
molecules into transformed into a bit
okay before hand so this is to eat your
or maybe to speed up your changes to
speed up your production time because
you can also do it double by
double-clicking and then you go
highlight is put capital pays as a truck
if you get the same transformation but
to increase the speed of production just
highlight this and I want to have this
title everything has been changed
according to the specification and
requirement they will speed up your text
manipulation time and also speed up your
production time thank you for watching
