Text Editing?
-
Is there a way to edit the text that has been added without having to delete it and add the desired text?

If you mean the 3d text... no.
If you mean text on a leader just double click. -
Thanks Boo, thats what I have been doing to the 3D text and hadnt found a work-around.

P.S. Keep your head down and watch the weather there.

Mike,
Note that 3D text is not an editable text entity but simply geometry (grouped) like anything else in your model. "Editing" it is only possible like any other geometry; deleting faces, adding lines etc.

Well, TIG, just what I answered to Jim here.

...BUT if you use my "TextTag" script it makes 2D-like text using 3D text, so that it behaves differently to ordinary-text (snaps to a face, remains 'flat' etc, AND it's editable later). Right-click a previuosly placed and now selected TextTag and then pick "Edit TextTag" in the contect menu - you can change all settings (like font, color etc) and the typed in text itself...
To edit what 'plain 2D text' says you just double-click it and enter new your text in the box.
