Add a textbox

You can use Layers to add comments to components in the model.
The base Layer only contains the components.
To add comments, create a new Layer.

To add a textbox:

  1. In the Draw area, select a component.
  2. In the Menu, click Component, then Add Text.
  3. Input text dialog appears.
  4. Note: If the base Layer is the only Layer you have, the LayerNameInputDialog will pop up to prompt you to add a new Layer.

  5. Add a comment, then click OK
  6. In the Draw area, verify that the component has a gray square speech bubble with the commnet.
  7. Drag the square anywhere to change its position.

To change text font/color:

  1. In the Menu, click Component, then Change Color & Shape...
  2. Or, right-click on the comment textbox in the Draw area, select Change Color & Shape...
  3. Change color & shape dialog pops up.
  4. Note: When printing a model, the comment textboxes will be printed as well. If you do not want to have them printed, set Invisible the Layers that contain them.
