Text can be inserted a number of ways, including the Multiline text button, or by typing T or MT for Multiline text, also the DT for Dynamic Text command, which gives a greater range of options. Once selected, you can then select a Justify option, which aside from the options above, also includes ALIGN - to an angle by selecting two end points, FIT - select two end points and the text will be stretched or compressed to fit the specified distance, but only is available for horizontal text. Or select a STYLE. If you cannot remember the name of a particular style, enter ? then you will be prompted to enter *. AutoCAD will then open a window displaying all of the available choices. Specify a height for the text allow for the scale of the drawing. Set a rotation angle or just enter for 0. Type in the desired text. Enter will start a new line of text below the first, and enter twice will finish the command.
