When you add SmartText to a drawing sheet and save to the database, the software displays the text every time you generate an Enhanced SmartLoop report for the specified loop.

  1. Display the drawing for loop 101-F-102.

  2. Click a blank area of the drawing sheet, and on the Annotations toolbar, click New Macro .

  3. On the Macro Properties dialog box, in the Label box, under Caption, type Swap terminals (Caption).

    1. Click Font to open the Font dialog box.

    2. In the Size field, select 10.

    3. Click OK to return to the Macro Properties dialog box.

    4. Under Alignment, for both Vertical and Horizontal fields, select Center.

    5. Accept the remaining values and click OK to close the Macro Properties dialog box and return to the drawing sheet.

    6. Click the cross-hair cursor on the drawing sheet at the position where you want to insert the text.

    7. Drag this text immediately below the existing Swap terminals label that you added as SmartText.
