You can input a value directly or by single-clicking the button on the right to specify by crosshair; > > 3\. Select the text; > > 4\. Specify incremental distance and direction. The system will automatically calculate the amount according to the initial points of the crosshair as shown below: > >  > > **Amount only:** It is used when you know the incremental amount, but do not know the incremental distance. > > 1\.

Specify the incremental distance and direction. The system will place the incremental text between the initial points of the crosshair as below: > >  > > **Distance and Amount:** You can fix the Amount and Distance first and then use the crosshair to specify the incremental direction. > >  --- Gstarsoft Co.,Ltd ## Other versions with matching text [GstarCAD 2016](../../../2016/User%20Guide/Additional%20Pages/Text%20Incremental%20Copy.md) · [GstarCAD 2019](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2019/User%20Guide/Additional%20Pages/Text%20Incremental%20Copy.md) · [GstarCAD 2020](Help%20System/GSTARCAD/2020/User%20Guide/Additional%20Pages/Text%20Incremental%20Copy.md)
