Text Layers

Text Layers are designed specifically for architects, interior designers, and landscape professionals — so you can communicate with clarity, precision, and style. You only need one text layer for all the text you want to add to your drawing but you can always add more. You batch edit, modify, copy, duplicate, clear, or delete your text.

How to Add & Edit Text

Step 1. Add a Text Layer

Tap the Text Layer button to create a new text layer. You'll automatically get your first text box where you can type in your note, label, title, or annotation.

Step 2. Move, Rotate, & Resize Your Text Box

Long press and drag the text box to move it. Press and drag any of the corner or side dots to resize your text box. Rotate your text by pressing and dragging the top antenna.

Important Note
Resizing the box does not change the size of the text. It only adjusts the paragraph width.

Step 3. Adjust the Style

Tap your text box to select it. Then set the justification, text, color, or size of your text.

Step 4. Add More Text Boxes

Tap the Add Text button to add a new text box.

Pro Tip
You can also press and drag to anywhere on your drawing to add a new text box to a specific place.

Tap a text box to select it. Next tap the Delete or Duplicate button to remove it or make a quick copy of it.
