OpenGround - Point Data Text Object

The Point Data Text Object inserts a text value from any data table at a specified height on the Log.

To insert a Point Data Text Object into a column, follow the steps below:

Block Align Property

“Block Align” property defines the center point of how your text block should display. If property is unchecked, the center will be assumed to be the first line of text. If property is checked, the center will be defined at the center of the entire block of text. Examples of this implementation can be found in the sketch below.

This property is available for “Point Data Text”, “Range Data Text” reference objects.
