These properties determine the font style, color, and text wrapping for the text content of your element.

​

    • Click the Clear button to reset and turn off all typeface settings.

Important Note on Fonts:

  • Make sure that any font you choose is available on all PADS4 Viewers.
  • If a selected font is not available during playback, a default font will be used instead.

  • Recommendation: Always use PADS4-distributed fonts to ensure consistency across devices.

​

  • You can choose:
    • Fixed color
    • Gradient (two or three colors)
    • Texture or pattern

OptionDescription
No Text WrappingText will remain on a single line. If too long, it will be cut off.
Wrap TextText will automatically wrap to the next line if it exceeds element width.

​
Remarks

  • Line breaks (e.g., <CR>, <CR><LF>) in your text will always create a new line, regardless of the text wrapping option selected.
