Inserting a Calculation into a Drawing

Select the text in the calculation box if it is not already selected. Press Ctrl+C to copy the text to the Clipboard. Click the Close button to return to your drawing.

Next, choose the Paste command (Ctrl+V). As soon as you do, a rubber-band text box appears, showing how the text will be inserted. Set a point for the lower-left corner of the text. The text is inserted into the drawing.

You can also insert the results of a calculation into a drawing by using one of the text commands which allow you to change the font, style, alignment, size, and angle. First, copy the text from the calculation box to the clipboard. Then choose the Text command (see Text) and use paste to enter the text into the proper fields.
