Displaying Values in a Drawing AutoSketch can display entity information directly in the drawing. Displaying data directly in the drawing is especially useful for schematics, maps, and floor plans where the physical location of an entity is a significant part of the drawing. AutoSketch allows you to format the database value text. You can specify the text font, size, and color. You can also display the name of the field next to the values. This is helpful when it is not obvious what the value represents when it is written by itself. To display database values in a drawing 1 Select the entities whose database values you want to display. 2 On the Database menu, click Make Visible. To format the display of database values 1 On the Database menu, click Options.
