Hi,
I have several recommendations for you.
It appears that you are utilizing this for graphic display more so than technical design and detailed dimensioning so I will base my suggestions on that.
First let's explore so you will understand my suggestions.
Open your file and you see the layout called "Presentation". This is called a Paper Space Layout in AutoCAD. Paper Space is generally where we present and document our designs or creations.
- You may double-click in any of your 4 Viewports to make them active for controlling the display of your Model Space elements. For instance, if you double-click in the lower left Viewport you will be able to play with the viewing orientation, view style, and other display characteristics. You may right-click your Viewcube and change from Perspective to Parallel viewing.
- You may double-click off of any of the Viewports to de-activate them or return to standard Paper Space working.
- In this respect you could create a text object anywhere at all, even off of the apparent page and this would be like a true "overlay".
- You could also create another Layout page and work on your display for a single view. Simply right-click the Presentation tab at the bottom and select New Layout. This gives you a new tab for Layout1 and you have a single Viewport that can be manipulated to your liking, again allowing placement of a text object for "overlay".
- In this case you would print your Layouts.
Back to a fresh open of your file and You also see the Model tab, which allows you to switch into Model Space (that's where we design and create).
- Click the Model tab and you can re-orient your model as you wish.
- Switch to the 3D Modeling Workspace and you will have a new ribbon up top.
- On this ribbon you will see a panel called Coordinates. It is likely that your coordinates remain in the World or WCS system so all object creation is originating in a flat X,Y plane.
- The lower-left icon on the Coordinates panel is a drop-down icon but typically shows "View" when you hover and pause over it. This command treats your screen view as a plane and sets the coordinate system flat so that objects can now be created flat to this view.
- You could create flat text in this User Coordinate System (UCS) and it would appear similar to your image above. This would require you to print the current display or save this orientation to allow returning to the view and selecting the printed view in the future. I would discourage this method.
I hope this makes good sense. It is a quick and dirty explanation and I would be happy to help you explore further, just post back for more detail. Try to use some of the terminology I presented so that all users can help out and you can phrase your questions in a way that directs us to giving relevant advise.
Cheers,
Blaine
