Changing the Text Element
A text element in a drawing behaves like most other elements, i.e. it can be edited by such functions as duplicate, cut, copy, paste, group, delete and by the transformations. However, these changes always refer to the text element in its entirety, the text it contains remains unchanged.

One exception to this rule is when scaling text elements. The font size changes by the appropriate percentage when scaling. All other attributes such as the position of tabs remain unchanged.

If you wish to edit the text, you can do so by selecting the Text tool and clicking on the text element. Change your text as you wish and conclude your changes by clicking in the toolbox.
This procedure remains the same even if the text element has already been transformed, e.g. by tilting it into a perspective plane.
You can change all the attributes of the text from outside. To do so select the text element with the Arrow tool and then choose the required attributes from the Text menu. These attributes are then applied to the entire text in the element. The same function also applies if you assign a different text format.
