Text Example

This example demonstrates creating single-line text elements with layer-based colors. It shows how to define text using an insertion point, string content, height, and alignment.

using CadSDK;
using CadSDK.Elements;
using CadSDK.Enums;
using CadSDK.Geometry;
using System.Numerics;

// Create a drawing session
var session = new DrawingSession
{
    ExportFormat = ExportFormat.DWG,
    CadVersion = CadVersion.Cad2018
};

// Define layers
var textLayer = new Layer { Name = "TestLayer_Text", ColorARGB = AciColors.Magenta };
session.AddLayer(textLayer);

// Text using layer color
var text = new Text(
    insertionPoint: new Vector3(0, 220, 0),
    textString: "Text using Layer Color",
    height: 5f)
{
    Alignment = TextAlignment.MiddleCenter,
    LayerName = textLayer.Name
};
session.AddElement(text);

// Export the drawing
// You can signup and get your free API key
string apiKey = "your-api-key"; // Get your free API key from the dashboard
string outputPath = "drawing.dwg";
await session.ExportAndSaveAsync(apiKey, outputPath);

Key Points

Single-line text elements are defined by an insertion point, text string, and height.
The Alignment property controls the text's horizontal and vertical alignment relative to its insertion point.
Each text element is assigned to a specific layer for organization.
The text's color is inherited from its assigned layer.
