在AVA中向设计添加文本有两种方法。您可以使用实时文本工具或文本选择工具。下面介绍了这两种工具，每种工具都有自己的功能和优点。
实时文本工具
实时文本工具用于将文本添加到专用图层。文本可以应用到图层，然后再次编辑，次数不限，当您不确定要添加的文本是否是您需要的最终文本时，它是完美的文本工具。
- 确保您仅查看设计的一个重复项，然后选择工具选项板中的文本工具或按键盘上的 T。将打开文本工具设置窗口。
- 激活您指定的文本层。这应该是一个新图层或当前不包含任何信息的现有图层（因为实时文本工具将用新文本替换图层的当前内容）。
- 单击文本工具设置窗口中的 A 按钮。
- 使用光标将文本框拖动到设计上的相关位置。
- 从字体窗口中选择所需的字体、大小和样式。您将可以访问计算机上可用的所有系统字体、字体效果和外国字体集。可以通过执行以下操作之一打开字体窗口：
- 如果您已将“字体”按钮添加到工具栏，请单击它
- 转到编辑菜单 > 文本 > 字体 > 显示字体
- 输入所需的文本。此时可以通过突出显示全部或部分文本并更改“字体”窗口中的选定设置来更改字体、样式、效果和大小特征。
- 如果文本框需要变大或移动到其他位置，请单击“文本工具”设置窗口中的“放置”工具（A 旁边的按钮），然后单击设计上的文本。节点手柄将出现在文本周围，允许您根据需要调整或移动框。
- 调整文本框后，可以通过重新选择文本工具设置窗口中的 A 按钮来再次编辑文本。在文本框内部单击，光标将恢复闪烁，允许您添加更多文本或修改现有文本。
- 如果要将文本放置在某个角度，请使用文本工具设置窗口中的旋转盘或在其旁边的字段中输入角度来旋转它。文本通常在文本框中心的固定轴上旋转，但如果需要，可以更改为不同的枢轴点。在“文本工具”设置窗口中选择“放置”工具，突出显示文本框，按住 ⌥（选项键），将光标置于新的枢轴点处，然后将其拖动到所需的角度。您会注意到，拖动时，一条小灰线会在设计上标记旋转，并且文本模式窗口中的角度字段显示当前旋转角度。
- 继续编辑，直到您对结果感到满意为止，然后通过单击“应用”按钮将文本固定到图层。
注意：在创建和编辑文本的过程中（在将其应用到图层之前），如果您更改为工具选项板中的其他工具，文本将暂时消失。不要惊慌，因为一旦您单击返回文本工具，文本就会重新出现。
如果您愿意，您可以在一层上放置多个文本框，但您可能更喜欢为不同的文本片段设置单独的图层。
要在将来再次编辑文本图层，只需激活相关图层，重新选择工具调色板中的文本工具，然后选择 A 工具（如果您希望修改文本、字体或大小本身），或者选择放置工具（如果您希望修改文本）。希望将文本移动到其他地方。
注意：确保选中“显示文本”选项，以便您可以实际看到所做的新修改。最后单击“应用”以再次修复图层的新更改。

将文本添加到布局窗口
Text can be added to any Layout Window. It can be used simply to add labels to colourways or other items on the page, or to list specifications, print data or production information for example.
The Text Tool is part of the Layout Tools Palette. The standard Tools Palette changes when you are in the Layout Window to reflect the tools you can use here. This is because no editing can be done in the Layout Window. You can only recolour and the selection of tools available reflect this.
- Select the Text Tool from the Tools Palette.
- Drag a box on the page at the position where you want to add the text.
- Type the text needed, or if you are bringing it in from somewhere else, copy and paste it into the box.
- Change the font style, size and colour by highlighting the text and then clicking the Fonts button in the toolbar.
Note: If you need to change the size of the text box at any point, simply deselect it by clicking on the page and then reselect it and drag one of its selection nodes to the desired size.
Changing the fonts, style and size
Font styles and weights can be chosen from the Collections, Family and Typeface listings in the Fonts window. The size of the text can be changed by either choosing preset sizes in the Size list; using the slider bar to the right; or manually typing a point size in the Size field.
Changes to font, style and size can be viewed in real time. If you wish to see the fonts and styles available before typing your text, a description with a visual preview can be displayed by dragging the small dot under the word Fonts in the Title bar of the Fonts window downwards, as shown below.
Note: Text must be highlighted to change any of these settings.
Changing the colour of the font
There are two ways to colour your text on the Layout Window. You can either colour from the system colour pickers, or you can colour from your existing colour files. It is important to note that when colouring from system colour pickers, AVA cannot guarantee a colour match. If you wish for your text to be colour matched, we would recommend using the latter option.
Colouring from the system pickers
Change the colour of your text by clicking on the action menu at the bottom right of the Fonts window and choose Colour. Alternatively, click on the colour wheel button at the top of the window.
There is a choice of various system colour pickers, which provide a whole spectrum of colours to choose from.
Colouring from a colour file
When text is added to the page, colours can be dragged to your text from a colour file, The Swatches Palette, or from the Layer Palette. Simply drag and drop the colour chips on to the text to recolour it.
Creating a drop shadow
Add a drop shadow to selected text using the Text Shadow function in the Fonts window. Three slider bars and a small turning disc allow the user to control the intensity, distance and angle of the shadow.
Click on the T button in the centre, at the top of the window to activate the feature. The drop shadow will appear on the selected text and can be controlled by the sliders to the right of the text shadow button. The left slider controls the intensity, the middle slider the blur and the right slider the distance from the actual text.
Note: Once you have finished entering and styling your text, click on the Select Tool in the toolbar, otherwise you will remain in Text mode and will be unable to do anything else in the Layout Window.
Editing and removing text
Existing text can be edited simply by clicking on it. The cursor will change to a pointing hand when you move over the text. A single click will highlight the text box and its nodes, so it can be moved or resized. A double click on the text will highlight the particular word your cursor was on when you double clicked.
If you wish to highlight part or all of the text in the box, simply double click anywhere in the box and the cursor will change to a standard text editing icon, allowing you to drag over the desired text to highlight it. Once highlighted, text can be edited as you wish.
Highlighted text within a text box, or indeed entire text boxes, can be copied and pasted in the usual way. Text boxes can also be duplicated in the Layout Window by clicking on them and choosing Colourway Menu > Duplicate, or clicking on the Duplicate button in the toolbar. Entire text boxes can be deleted from the page by clicking on them and pressing ⌫ (delete key) on the keyboard.
Aligning the text
You can align text within a text box to the left, right and centre as well as justified alignment.
- Highlight the relevant text in a text box, using the Layout Text Tool.
- Go to Edit Menu > Text and select the required alignment choice from the menu.
Users can also choose a different alignment for separate areas of the same text block. Simply highlight each individual section of the text block and choose an alignment option as outlined above.
Spell checking and grammar
You can activate Apple’s built in spelling and grammar tools in AVA. To do this, highlight a word or piece of text, hold down ^ (control key) on the keyboard while clicking on the text and select the desired options from the contextual menu that appears. To check spelling, go to Edit Menu > Spelling and Grammar > Check Spelling While Typing. To check grammar, go to Edit Menu > Spelling and Grammar > Check Grammar With Spelling.

现已在AVA 5.9 中提供 -文本工具
AVA 5.9 的文本工具已大幅升级；现在它更加用户友好、灵活和有用！
文本工具现在有自己的专用层 - 称为文本层。通过单击图层面板中的图层图标，可以像任何其他图层一样创建此图层。
文本图层可以包含任意数量的文本项，可以更改其颜色，可以叠印显示，也可以根据需要进行打印和光栅化。
- 确保您仅查看设计的一个重复项，然后选择工具选项板中的文本工具或按键盘上的 T。将打开文本工具设置窗口。
- 单击并拖动将包含文本的矩形框。
- 键入文本，然后单击文本外部的任意位置以完成编辑。
注意：如果您尝试在未选择文本图层的情况下创建文本对象，则会自动创建一个新的文本图层来包含新对象。
- 创建后，您可以为对象指定旋转角度和色调级别；可以使用或不使用抗锯齿进行渲染
- 要编辑文本对象，请双击它或将鼠标悬停在其上方时使用上下文菜单（^ 单击）。
- 编辑文本项目时，文档窗口的工具栏上将显示字体检查器，作为标准字体面板的便捷替代方案。
- 创建对象后，可以以不同的方式移动、复制、复制/粘贴、调整大小、裁剪、对齐或排列。
- 可以像任何其他标准图层一样在图层调色板上更改文本颜色。
注意：文本对象在重复连接上无缝工作。
