text in the sketch

[supertramp]

Is it possible to insert a text in a sketch environment?
I happen to have to create a tabellina with a lot of text that then I had to project on a surface. I solved by creating lines with a sketch and text (box case and manually positioning it) with the text command. it would have been useful to be able to put the text inside the sketch perhaps using the constraints of the sketch and the potential of the text command (character, size, format, etc...). I searched in sketchy environment the command but it doesn't seem to be there. Can you do that? or is there a workaround?

hello and thank you in advance to all.

No, you can't... the text is a feature on its behalf

Is it possible to insert a text in a sketch environment?[...] oppure esiste un workaround?

workaround

do the feature text.
do a sketch and from inside the sketch "project curve" and as intent select (set dx on the desktop) "curve slices" and select the text of the first (the curves of the feature text just made).

change the text, the sketch follows.
(even the downstream features of the sketch must have intention select opportuni to follow in the whole model ...)

I'm sorry, are you telling me the point is to make a feature and then copy it?
added value equal to zero, indeed add useless frills.

In fact, I would have preferred that the text was inside the sketch environment to be able to bind it with my tabellina. importing curves actually doesn't help me because I should still change them and place them manually outside the sketch. I was looking for something like an excel tabellina. For example by modifying the rows or columns of the table the text is automatically centered. When I write it comes to mind that maybe I could do it in the drafting environment and then import it into modelling?

... and the one who liked to kill the truck! ?
now we want to deny to chicchessia to kill the paracarro?!? :wink:

motivations can be there:

1. more than a sketch could point to the text: I change the text, in chain I edit more sketch
2. sketches could be on floors at different heights (inclinations)
3. every sketch could be enriched with something else (frames, contours, tables, project one or more text)
4. ... bho!?

We all agree that this is to bypass the fact that the text is not in the sketch ... is a lack of the program.
it seems to me that in nx4 you could insert text in sketch, but it became lines, circles and spline.

you can do today, but a little longer: do a non-associative text (eye you don't edit it anymore), do a sketch, instead of "project curves" do "ad existing curves" and you have the curves of the imported text inside the sketch. are lines, arches and splines all unleashed... if you patience bind them and move them as a block where you want. but this is not associative: If you've done all the work and you realize you've written "sotp" instead of "stop" ... you've been craving!

other point: the text is not said to be always a text of words, can also be symbols ... with the true type just fonts I found the symbol of land, imq symbol, vde, ce, ... etc.

Then I agree: it's an eye.
I would also like a "better" feature text
(I would also like a better machine, a better office, ... etc. 10 years less, lean, with muscles on display)

Drafting you can view the model and put the elements of the drafting (note, tabular notes, ...) but then it doesn't seem to me that you can use them for the features of modeling.. .

I make a note tabular and then I carry it in iges or dxf. it remains all semi-parametric. Just change the tabular and the remount in modelling when I have to change it. It can be okay as soon as I have a moment. thanks to all

stimulated by the similar demand of a customer I thought of a new workaround, using nx9.
you can create a quota "reference" and then activate the flag "enable dimension scene dialog"
In this way you have, in the sketcher, all the functionality of the quotas in the drafting.
you can then add texts before, above, below, after the number... the number can be put in brackets and decreased to pleasure.
everything is obviously parametric.
the quota "reference" can be any type of quota, the one that most adapts to the situation.
I used it together with the new "rigid group" to do a study and it's not bad...
