Options

The following options are available to create your text as geometric entities.

:TEXT - the text to be "written" upon the workplane. It may be one single line, it can have multiple lines.
:POS - the lower-left corner of the text
:ANGLE - the angle between the text base line and the U-Axis of the current workplane, defaults to zero.
:SIZE - the size of the Text
:FONT - the font to use (string)

When to use

Use this action to create text as a polygon on the current workplane.

CREATE_GEO_TEXT may be useful when generating a profile for an engraved text.

Example

The following parameter sequence creates the text "Line 1" on the current workplane at the position x=100,y=200 with the base angle of 30 degrees.
