4.3.8.4 Changing Texts in a Text Group
In the above example, the text in the default language has been used for all other text layers as well. If this text
should be changed for the 'English' language, then the text editing window can be opened by double−clicking on
the corresponding text. After the text is edited, the window is closed by pressing 'Enter'. The 'Esc' key retains the
original text.
Warning:
If texts are added to existing text groups, objects which are connected with this text group may be affected. In
some cases, inserting texts is only possible at the end of a text group. The connection between an object and
the text group must then be lifted in order to insert desired texts.
4.3.8.5 Deleting Texts and Text Groups
A text is deleted by marking it and using the shortcut menu or by pressing the 'DEL' key.
Texts which are already connected with objects cannot be deleted. The same restrictions apply for deleting texts
as for adding texts. The connection to an object must first be removed or the object must be deleted.
Deleting a Text Group
The procedure for deleting a text group is the same as that for deleting texts. The following also applies here:
text groups which are already in use cannot be deleted.
4.3.8.6 Arranging Texts in a Group
Texts can be moved up or down in a text group by using the arrow icons in the toolbar. Changing in this way
automatically changes the index value (text number).
As seen in the example above, other operations such as inserting, deleting, and editing can be done using the
toolbar.
Arranging Text Groups
Text groups arrangement is not supported since their sequence is irrelevant to the project.
4.3.8.7 Variable Numbering of Text Groups
Text numbers for texts in a group can be edited and numbered flexibly. In this way, gaps in text groups are
possible, i.e. if error messages should begin with number 1000.
