# Creating Text

To add text to your drawing:

1. Activate the Text tool:

- From the Tools > Drawing Tools menu or Drawing Tools toolbar, select the Text tool.
- Press [T], the default keyboard shortcut.

2. In the Drawing View or Camera View, click the location where you would like the text to begin. (You can move it later, if you change your mind.)

At this point, you can choose to open the Properties dialog box and select a specific text font and format the text you will type. To learn more about text formatting, see Formatting Text.

3. Type the text you want to appear in the drawing.

4. If you want to add a new text object, click outside the current text box. You can always re-select a text object, by activating the Text tool and clicking the text.
