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.
