Surface finish designation text is entered in the Add Text subprocess. This subprocess is started automatically after fixing of the surface finish sign in the graphic area. You can also start this subprocess manually. To that effect, click in the Text field on the Parameter Panel, or press any alphanumeric key on the keyboard.

While working in the subprocess, you can generate a designation caption and tune its look and feel, for example, to select the font, set the height of characters, etc.

The structure of the surface finish designation is defined according to GOST 2.309–73 (see the Figure).
