Resize a simple text object

Text objects are not resizable- the number of characters and font size determines the size. To
move the text object, simply click and drag using the mouse to the target location on screen.

Multilingual Text Object

Use to display multilingual text on a screen using Windows True Type fonts. The term
‘multilingual’ refers to the ability to use the Multilanguage feature with this object. This is the
ability to configure up to nine text labels per object. The current value in the Language tag
(SW0001) determines the particular text label shown during operation. For more information
on this feature, see Languages later in this chapter. The multilingual text object also differs from
the simple text object because it uses Windows True type fonts.

1. Use one of the following:

a. Click Draw…Graphical Objects…Multilingual Text from the standard menu
b. Click Drawing Tools…Multilingual Text from the Objects toolbar
c. Click the Multilingual Text icon from the Draw toolbar
