  • Map that is not a text box.
  • Alternatively, click the text drawing button in the Object Drawing group on the Object Operation tab again.
• Alongline Text is composed of several sub-texts, in which a single Chinese character, consecutive letters and consecutive numbers are regarded as a sub-text, and spaces occupy character bits but are not counted as sub-objects, which are mainly used to separate consecutive characters or numbers. For example, the Beijing, China BeiJing China "has six child objects, China, China, North, Beijing, BeiJing, and China, and the characters BeiJing and China are separated by a space. If you enter consecutive letters or numbers, they are treated as a single child object and are not Label Alonglined. If you need to achieve the effect of Label Alongline, please use a space to divide it at the appropriate position. You can view/modify the contents of each sub-object in the Text Info tab of the object's Properties dialog.
• Alongline Text runs in the direction of the curve, so when you create an Alongline Text, pay attention to the direction of the curve you draw.
