Windows Text (single-line) Home

Windows Text object is similar to the Text object, but it is drawn by WinAPI function TextOut, instead of LiteCAD vectorization. It has better appearance, but also has some limitations.
New text entities are created with the current Text style. The text style must use Windows True Type font, not LiteCAD font (lcd).

To add text into a drawing use following functions:

Function Meaning
lcBlockAddTextWin By text and position
lcBlockAddTextWin2 By text, position, alignment, height, width scale, rotation, oblique
