Text Hotspots

PCA provides a placeholder for text hotspots. It is a simple PLANE with correct size, scaling and rotation. For correct positioning, the center point and the bottom edge are marked by a texture on the front side (to see it, the material preview must be turned on in the viewport-shading). The background color and the alpha value can be changed in the Hotspot Value Panel.
