Chapter 6 Diagrams and Symbols

Working with textual symbols

Free text is text that is not associated with an object in the model. For example, a note that you type in a rectangle is free text, (while a column name is not). You can insert free text in your model independently of any shape, and can select and move it like any symbol.

Steps To create free text:

  1. Click the Text tool in the palette, and then click in the diagram where you want to insert the text. A symbol saying <Default text> is created.
  2. Double-click the text to open a text input window.
  3. Type text in the window, and then click OK.
