Labeling any objects

You can use the Label tool to label any objects without attributes. For example, this applies to 2D elements like polylines, circles, splines and surface elements like hatching or 3D lines or 3D splines. In earlier versions, you had to use workarounds. For example, you could assign an attribute to such an object and delete the attribute again.

You can now find the Label tool on the shortcut menus of these objects too.

To label any objects, click Label and select the object or right-click the object and select Label on the shortcut menu.

The contents of the label vary depending on the object and label type selected:

• Use Default label to display the object type.
• Use Label style to select a label style.
• Use Object label to display the default attributes that are part of each object (object name; length; Allright component ID; component ID; unit, calculation mode). In addition, you can label the object as you would do this in the Attributes task area.

Use the input options to place the label.
