&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If it was me. &amp;nbsp;I would do the following;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Add the options as a menu and sub menu to the Place text tool.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I could raise an Enhancement Request to development to add something into the Place Text tool maybe to swap easily over between the tools.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Or do you think it would be better just to have all of these icons in the single tool? I am thinking that would make it quite cumbersome.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What do you think?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: CEU5 - How do I place text above &amp; below a line?</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/414739?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 05 Jun 2017 21:33:04 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:cabe3fd3-d447-4298-801f-d76bd44b8c37</guid><dc:creator>stuartw</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;[quote user=&amp;quot;Ian Lapper&amp;quot;]&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In CE these tools are no longer part of the Place Text workflow. &amp;nbsp;Thus you have to swap tools to set the Text placement type and then place text, thus moving from one step process to 2. &amp;nbsp;As you can see above In V8i its ALL in the same dialog&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;[/quote]&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;Exactly!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;Bentley - You have taken away what was a very simple (brilliant) workflow for doing this. It was so easy to do with all tools available in one dialog. Why change something like this? Doesn&amp;#39;t make any sense!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;What is even more annoying is that I have to use the ribbon. I don&amp;#39;t use the ribbon at all at the moment as I have all the tools I need either from Tasks (PM) or docked.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: CEU5 - How do I place text above &amp; below a line?</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/414670?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 05 Jun 2017 12:46:06 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:9c3c3d76-0932-4194-a850-491ee632c1ec</guid><dc:creator>Ian Lapper</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/273/place-text.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Hi Andrew&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is &amp;nbsp;what we had in V8i.... &amp;nbsp;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;[/quote]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Under the Placement section of the Home Ribbon is where the Place Text icon is showing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To the right of this is a grey down arrow that has two extra tools available to you.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Place Text Along&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Place Note&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yes, the Method of Placement list has now been separated from the Place Text tool but it was always a separate dialog box.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This has been simplified and is less confusing in relation to the operation of Text Styles for size, angle, justification etc.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: CEU5 - How do I place text above &amp; below a line?</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/414474?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 02 Jun 2017 15:33:42 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:74ae6b9b-db08-424b-b10a-8b8fa510f5b3</guid><dc:creator>stuartw</dc:creator><description>Well that is frankly rubbish and is definitely a step backwards from the workflow available in SS4!! I use to use Edit Text to grab some text, and then Place Text, with Place Above Line, to quickly rotate text to an element. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Come on Bentley this is really bad!! Why have you changed this and can we have the SS4 workflow back?&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: CEU5 - How do I place text above &amp; below a line?</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/414467?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 02 Jun 2017 14:58:13 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:ae1fd613-50f6-4689-9d4e-24d5ce835797</guid><dc:creator>Ian Lapper</dc:creator><description>To add to this...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The place text workflow is now worse in CE.  A user will select &amp;#39;Place Text&amp;#39;, then they will realize the options for text placement are no longer in the same dialog.  So they have to active the &amp;#39;text options&amp;#39;, then reactivate the &amp;#39;Place text&amp;#39;.... crazy...  put it back where it came from  please&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
This has been removed from the place Text dialog and placed in its own dialog...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Look in ..&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Annotate Tab &amp;gt; Text &amp;gt; More &amp;gt; Place text along&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
