Move Text (P+ID)

P+ID > Symbol > Edit > Dialogue text > Move text

Select this function to move graphic texts. HiCAD automatically switches the grid off before the text is moved and then switches it on again.

Proceed as follows:

1. When the prompt "Please select text" appears on the screen, set the cross-hairs on the appropriate text and select it.

HiCAD then hangs a rectangle representing the text on the cursor so that reference point of the text is on the intersection point of the cross-hairs, and asks for the new position of the text (RMB = Reference point)

If you want to change the reference point:

2. Press the right mouse button and then activate the Text reference point icon. HiCAD displays the appropriate dialogue box showing the current reference point position.

3. Click the new position of the reference point and select OK.

The position of the rectangle representing the text is changed appropriately in relation to the cross-hairs. If you select Cancel, the previous text position is retained.

4. You can now place the text at its new position.
