Labeling element plan

Tool(s): Element Plan

Click Label to place a label style in the element plan.

A label style is essentially an associative label. The contents of a label style update to reflect any changes you make to the properties of the element to which the label style has been applied.

Note: The program comes with a number of title blocks. You can modify these or create new ones using Label Style.

To place a label

1. Click Label on the Element Plan Context toolbar.
2. Click Label Style if necessary. Click Match Properties if you want to use a label style you have already placed.

   The Object Label tool (only available when the Object Manager module is installed) is irrelevant.

3. On the context toolbar, click the Label Style field to select a different label.
4. Select the folder. The Default folder includes the title blocks that come with the program; the Office folder includes your own title blocks, which you saved in subfolder 7 or 8.
5. Select a label style.
6. Click OK to confirm.
7. Place the label style in the element plan; you can use the tools in the Input options to help you place it.
