You'll see that it asks you for an offset factor. I'm going to go ahead and select this text over here. It allows you to do rectangles, and it allows you to do slots around objects. But in reality, it will let you do other things as well. Okay, let's take a look at an Express Tool that may not be very obvious because the name of the Express Tool is TCircle, which makes you think that it's only going to allow you to put a circle around objects. Makes it a little tougher for you to control the exact distance the rectangle is from the text. Of course, you can control the width, you can control the layer, so on and so forth. Maybe not the fastest or easiest, but by all means, there's nothing wrong with simply going into the Rectangle command and drawing a good old rectangle around your text. The first way is probably the most logical. That's something that we end up having to do from time to time. Today I'm going to be sharing with you three different ways to put a boundary around your text - three different ways of going about it. So that would mean that it is chilly in Chile. I'm coming to you from Santiago, Chile, where it is really quite cold. Thank you so much for joining me for another AutoCAD tip, courtesy of the fabulous Cadalyst magazine.
