Here you see three white bars. With every white bar you need to do something to add your comment. First of all is to add the content of the comment. This you do by filling in the content of the comment behind the icon:
In our example we fill in “hello”, but it can be anything you want. The screen will change as follows:
Then in the following white bar there is the “text style” icon.
Next to this icon the text style is mentioned that the comment will be written in the DXF output of Apglos Survey Wizard. You can change the text style by clicking on the current text style.
From origin there are two text styles:
- Apglos
- Apglos2
Every time you open a DXF file in Apglos Survey Wizard all text styles from that file will be imported. After that you can chose them here in the comment screen. We chose the text style “Apglos” and then your screen will look like this.
At last we can change the text height of the comment. Also this is only necessary for DXF outputs. You change the text height by clicking the number behind the “text height” icon.
In our example we fill in a value of 1.8 and then the screen will look like this.

Now we only need to click the “OK” button.
After that Apglos Survey Wizard shows again the land survey screen. And in the screen you see a circle with the letter “T” in there, that shows it is a “Text / Comment”.
