Text Properties

When you select a text item in the label graphic or in the Graphical Items list, the Text Item area displays properties for the selected text item. Text items can consist of static text, variables from the Arc Flash Hazard Report, or a combination of both. The text that is displayed can also vary based on different conditions. The Text Item properties provides you with control over all of these aspects of the displayed text.
