Hi,

Using SLT v8 1003.

I cannot recall how to reorient text so it is planar to screen and not aligned to the model. I am making screen shots of my model and want some text to stay in view. The text may or may not overlap the model. I tried using Gripper, but it was useless and there is no feedback to help me figure out how to reduce my SWAG (swinging, wild-assed guess) time while reorienting the text.

I previously was making screen shots and then using GIMP to superimpose text on the image, then save it, causing the text to be made part of the jpg. But, it may be possible to take the jpg and easily remove the text. It might be better to superimpose the text in SLT before making the screenshot so that removal of the text might destroy certain beneath-text geometry that would indicate image tampering.

Thanks for any input!

No worries.
It would be nice to be able to just select and right click to get a context sensitive menu to apply that functionality. Maybe, some day?
