TUTORIAL 8 - Text

The text functions are very comprehensive. Text fonts used are in Windows TrueType format. Vast

numbers of fonts in this format are cheap and widely available. There are three basic text func-

tions, Linear text by variable which allows the user to set all variables, font, sizes, spacings,

colours, etc; Linear text by box which allows the user to pre-define font, colour, etc., then to apply

the text to a user defined box; and Text along a path which allows text to flow around the outside

or inside of a selected path object (normally a circle, arc, polygon or bezier curve).

1. Start up Stika Design, or choose File > Close to clear any work you have done so far then

choose File > New to start a new drawing. For the purposes of this tutorial only, choose Help

> Restore factory defaults.

2. Choose the Linear text icon.

At the prompt Locate start position for text, move the cursor to position (30, 40) approx., then

click the LH mouse button. The following dialog box will open.

Type in Techsoft “R” CAD then click on the Settings button. The following dialog box will

open.

Ensure that the font is set to Arial - Bold (if not available choose another font), change the

Height to 12, and the Fill Col... to blue. Click OK on both dialog boxes.
