Once again, WRONG forum!  Wake up man; you are operating in a fog.  FYI - Blender is NOT an AutoCAD vertical product.

 

Have you tried searching on the Internet for a tutorial about creating text in Blender?  We're talking 3D text are we not?  Try starting here...

Your original post stated you wanted to create text in Blender not AutoCAD.  Make up your mind!  

 

Try the MLEADER command.  A multileader object typically consists of an arrowhead, a horizontal landing, a leader line or curve, and either a multiline text object or a block.

Yes, you can add 2D text.  Why didn't you specify that in your original post?

Try doing an Internet search.  It's your project after all.  Search criteria hint: "Blender"+"2D text".  Got it?  Good.  Now go find.  Note: It should take you less than 10 seconds to find what you are looking for.

Well, I am curious as to what your search turned up.  Did you find the video tutorial about how to create 3D and 2D text in Blender?  It was labeled as a Blender Quick Tip.

yes I have found one for creating 2d text sorry future posters lost the link now, basically you go to object mode click add select text then to change the text you simply go to edit mode and your able to delete the text and rewrite new text.

Can any one tell me how to make a stright line all I can find is greese pencil

How to draw a line in Blender?  Mode: Draw Mode.  Tool: Line.  It's amazing what you can find with a simple search.

The topic is covered in the Blender Manual which users have access to as part of the program.

I copied this from my earlier post above. 

 

Addendum: OP says this is not applicable because it involves the use of the Grease Pencil.  My bad.

I think I need to teach you a thing to make you aware how lucky you are, not everybody works the same some people have gifts from the gods to understand and some people dont the blender manual is useless to me

[ReMark]

Well, as it turns out the Line Tool I mentioned happened to be found under Grease Pencil > Draw Mode > Line which does not meet your needs, or so you say.  Now, as to your assertion that I am somehow lucky because I got a gift (of understanding?) from the gods, well that's largely debatable.  Anyway, be that as it may, try looking for the Blender 2.91 tutorial entitled, "Drawing with Dots, Lines and Plains" by Jonathan Keep.  It is dated Feb. 16, 2021.  You could also take a look at another tutorial entitled, "Blender creating straight or linear spline lines" by cresshead.  If neither of those work for you then you are on your own buddy.
