Keynote Text Editting

Anonymous — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 18:56:56 GMT

Hey all - ArchiCad newbie here.

Recently switched over from using a similar, competing product that would allow you to place a keynote, or hexnote, or equivalent on the screen then later come back and edit that text.

So far it seems ArchiCad will let you put text on the screen but not put a shape such as a circle or hex around it.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

chachnet,

In the label tool settings, at the bottom of the text styles sub palette check the "label frame".

FYI, while you are in the label settings, look at the available options under "content and Preview", select for example, the wall tool label, there will be a smallish preview to the right. The options for keynote style are expanded, run through all the sub-options and custom features.

PS Please edit your profile to add a "signature" with the AC version you are using, also MAC OS or the Imperium's gifts to mankind.

Ah, AC-10, a great version, unfortunately I no longer keep it loaded. The label settings in 14 are truly improved.
Sorry,

PS but hey, check the depository, I recall a couple of key note and label type objects in there.

Thanks Snap

I had a feeling we might be having a version disconnect....

Been through some stuff in the depository. Will work around for this project and see what I can learn in the next!
