Importing a text file

Is there a way to import a text file into PCB editor? We have fabrication notes in a word document or notepad that we would like to import without having to type them in.

thanks

Yes. If you are in the Add Text command, you can RMB and select "Read from File".

Hope this helps.

Also,

If you want to import text from Excel, I find that if you first do a "Save as type: Formatted Text (Space delimited) " from within Excel, it works very well.
