### CommandTextObject

The CommandTextObject merely acts as a container for a simple string of text that gives an overview of a feature or dimension.

When you use a template with this object with actual report data, PC-DMIS will display a string of text that shows, for a feature, the feature's text label, the feature's type, and how many hits were used to measure the feature. For a dimension, it shows the dimension's name and type and what units of measurement are used in the dimension.

A label that has only the CommandTextObject with actual report data might look something like this when displayed in the Report window:

Property | Description
Colors | Lets you change the colors of the text displayed. By default, PC-DMIS causes this object to use the same colors scheme as used in the Edit window's Command mode, so if you click this property PC-DMIS displays a message box asking if you want to create an independent color set. Clicking Yes accesses the Color Editor dialog box. You can then use this editor to define a new color scheme for the selected CommandTextObject.

See "Defining Edit Window Colors" in "Setting Your Preferences" for information on how to use the Color Editor.
