Re: How to label a line with text?

Octavio's solution works for me, thanks.

Octavio is correct.  Create a line.  Turn on object snap. Create a text entity.  Move it so the text connection point snaps to the line midpoint.

I don't know what you mean that the text has no properties.  If I right click I get a menu with properties as an option, or if I double click on the text I get properties.

You will have to be more specific about the text properties.

I have placed text objects snapped to center of lines. Not beautiful but
it works.

Best regards.
