Can you create text in the CATIA sketcher workbench?

In CATIA V5, there is no built-in tool to create text directly inside the sketcher workbench. However, users have found workarounds by using paid third-party applications or macros to achieve this. Dassault Systèmes addressed this need in CATIA V6 by providing a dedicated tool for entering and using text.

If you are using CATIA V5 and don’t want to use macros or third-party software, watch our video, which shows how to create text within the sketcher workbench in any version of CATIA V5.
