I am trying to use texts for labelling in my wafer. As it has many components, it would be easier to distinguish components.
I found this discussion on the forum but it wasn't helpful for me. So can someone please guide me with this?

The above forum post is concerning doing it via script.
The easiest way is through the GUI:
choose the Library = Basic
choose the Cell = TEXT
click on PCell, then enter your desired Text.
Choose the physical layer you want the text to appear on.

All the best, and thank you Matthias for all the hard work!
