    Public PropertySpecifies language mode of text. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Graphics.TextBase)
    Public PropertyGets or sets object's graphical layer. If object is not assigned to a project (Project is null), null is returned (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Graphics.GraphicalPlacement)
    Public PropertyGets layer id of layer assigned to this object. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Graphics.GraphicalPlacement)
    Public PropertyGet or set the placement's location. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Graphics.TextBase)
    Public PropertyReturns the object identifier as number. The number is unique for all objects of this type. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject)
    Public PropertyReturns the page the Placement is on, or assigns a Page object to the placement. If the placement was previously assigned to another page, it is removed from old one and assigned to the page given as an argument. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Placement)
    Public PropertySpecifies the Paragraph Spacing. This property is used for PropertyPlacemets attributes. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Graphics.TextBase)
    Public PropertySet / Get Parameters of the text (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Graphics.TextBase)
    Public PropertySets Pen related to this object. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Graphics.GraphicalPlacement)
    Public PropertyReturns the project the StorableObject belongs to. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.StorableObject)
    Public Property.NET Property enabling access to P8 properties of the Text object.  
    Public PropertyReturns the rotation of the Text, in radians. (Inherited from Eplan.EplApi.DataModel.Graphics.TextBase)
