Create Offset Text (Existing Vertices)

Description

Create dynamic text objects that display the perpendicular offset distance from a reference line (defined by two vertices) to a vertex.

Access

Home / Tools / Create / Text / Offset / Existing Vertices

Requirements

Solve module

Controls

The following controls are available:

Control	Description
Style	Select the offset text style to use for the text.
Start	Input a vertex on the reference line.
End	Input a vertex on the reference line.
Vertex	Input a vertex to create text for.

Notes

Use this method to create offset text from the projection of a line segment in a multi-segmented line.
Offset text objects are dynamically updated if any of the vertices are moved.
The reference line may be projected beyond the start and end vertex.
