Hi, I want to add some text and number on the design. when I select "T" it allow me input text, but no option to change the size. The size is too small, how to change the size? Roger

Under *utilities/setup/shapes/default* you can set the default size of any new text. Once a text is placed you can change any property of the text element in the properties mode (*draw/properies*) or with a double click in the default select/edit mode.

Thanks for your help. I tried to set the default size, but when I zoom in/out the whole design text doesn't change with the design. and I could not move the text to where I want, can only move horizontally, "convert to Polygon" is also disabled. what did I do wrong?

You have set the test size to a negative value. In that case the text size is independent of the zoom and always displayed in the same size. Enter a positive value for a physical height value in user units. Capital letter will then have exactly that size and conversion to polygon will be possible.
