Can I have a text value in text favorites?
Is it just how to make it in Label?
Solved! Go to Solution.

Text favourites do not store the actual text values, just the text format - size, colour, font, layer, etc.
Favourites for autotext labels do contain the text values as well.
If you want standard notes, have them all laid out in another file and copy & paste to your current job.
Or set up a lot of label favourites.

What do you mean by text value? I have loads of favourites with predefined text for items we commonly label such as wall ties, concrete cavity fill. We have lots of pre-defined description notes that are common across lots of projects.

You can create favorites with text values in the label's favorites.
It was asked if there is a favorite character with contents such as comments in Text.

We’ve got loads of text favourites set up for standard notes that retain the text content.

As a label or an object maybe?
But the text tool does not remember the actual text that is typed, so the favourite can't either.
If I am mistaken about this, I am happy to be educated as to how you do it.

Hi Barry,
They are definitely labels.
