Outlining Line Text

To enable Outline Text, navigate to File > Options > Drawing and Printing. Under the Map Drawing Engine folder tick the Advanced checkbox.

Line text is constructed to follow a single or multi-segment straight LineString item or a curved LineString.

Select the LineString item along which you intend to construct the text.
Select Line [Create-Text], the Properties of LineText dialog will be displayed:
Enter the required properties (similar to LineText).
In the Fill Brush drop-down box select the required brush. Brush colour, fill, pattern, transparency and the normal advanced settings are available. User-defined brushes may also be defined. The facility of copying and pasting the brush specification in JSON is also available.
In the Outline Pen drop-down box select the required pen. Pen colour, dash style, width, offset, transparency and the normal advanced settings are available. User-defined and Multi-level pens may also be defined. The facility of copying and pasting the pen specification in JSON is also available.
The text is displayed in the preview box in simplified form, but it will use the selected properties when the completed text item is placed in the map window.
Type in the required text, press the Enter key for a new line. You can also paste text into this box using the Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V key combination or Paste on the local menu.
Click OK when you have finished entering text.
The text is placed along the selected line using the current alignment setting.
Even spacing of the letters along the length of the line can be toggled on/off. To do this select the line and select Properties from the local menu.
Even spacing can then be set to True or False in the Properties of LineText dialog All tab.
