Move Dialogue Text (P+ID)

P+ID Symbol > Dialogue text > Move dialogue text

This function enables you to move existing dialogue text place holders on a symbol. When you move the place holder, HiCAD automatically switches the grid off for the duration of the movement and then switches it back on.

Proceed as follows:

1. Select the text you want to move with the cross-hairs.

HiCAD then draws a box symbolising the text and hangs it on the cross-hairs so that the text reference point is set on their intersection point.

2. Press the right mouse button to reposition the reference point.

A dialogue box is displayed indicating the position of the current position of the reference point.

3. First click the new reference point position and then OK.

The relative position of the box representing the text to the cross-hairs now reflects the new position. If you want to return to the previous position, click Cancel.

4. Use the cross-hairs to position the text and set the text on the given position with a double-click.
