Text constants are special objects for duplicating text in different places in a project. The same constant can be shown many times in TechEditor reports and diagrams. You can use this approach to show the date, project number, customer info, standard code, or any other textual information.
Insert a text constant in a report or diagram
To add a text constant to a report or diagram, use the Text Constant command. Select the desired constant from the list and click OK. The value of the constant appears in the document at the current position:
You can also insert a constant by double-clicking on it in the list. By default, after inserting a text constant, the document is automatically updated.
If you have disabled the automatic update option, press the F5 key.
Create and edit text constants
To change the value of a constant, use the Text Constant Editor. After you change the value and/or name of the constant, click Modify:
You can also delete or add a new constant. This is done with the Add and Delete commands, respectively. Click OK to apply the changes or Cancel to cancel.
