A single-text object is created using the active text style. You can change the formatting of a single-line text object by changing the text style associated with it, or by editing the properties of the single-line text object directly. You cannot apply formats to individual words and characters with single-line text objects.

To change a text style associated with an individual single-line text object, set the TextStyleId property to a new text style. Once you have changed the text style, you must regenerate the drawing or update the object to see the changes in your drawing.

In addition to the standard editable properties for entities (color, layer, linetype, and so forth), other properties that you can change on a single-line text object include the following:

HorizontalMode

Specifies the horizontal alignment for the text.

VerticalMode

Specifies the vertical alignment for the text.

Position

Specifies the insertion point for the text.

Oblique

Specifies the oblique angle of the individual text object.

Rotation

Specifies the rotation angle in radians for the text.

WidthFactor

Specifies the scale factor for the text.

AlignmentPoint

Specifies the alignment point for the text.

IsMirroredInX

Specifies whether the text is displayed backwards.

IsMirroredInY

Specifies whether the text is displayed upside-down.

TextString

Specifies the actual text string displayed.

Once you have changed a property, regenerate the drawing or update the object to see the changes made.
