Writing in RS

spaik

Hello...

I would like to write something in RS station but I couldn't find writing function in RS. Is it possible to write in RS or should I make 3D characters whenever I'd like to write? Please show me how to make it. thanks

Hi

If you just want to display some simple text information on for example a part you could use markups otherwise creating 3d characters is the way to do it.

Here is an simple example of how to create a markup on a part

Sub SetMarkup()
    Dim p As Part
   
    Set p = ActiveStation.Parts("Part1")
    p.MarkUps.Add "MyInfo", "This is part " + p.Name, rsMarkupType2D
End Sub

Hi

If you look at the markup object in the object browser you will see what you can do.

Some of the proerties:
- Textorientation
- Text position
- Textsize
- Background color
