Annotation Labels

An annotation label is a text placeholder added to tags or title blocks. You create a label as part of a tag or title block family while in the Family Editor. When you place the tag or title block in the project, you place substitution text for the label, and the text appears as part of the family.

1. Click NewAnnotation Symbol or Title Block.
2. In the displayed dialog, select the appropriate template for the family you are creating.
3. In the Family Editor, click Create tabText panel (Label).
4. In the Type Selector, select the label type.
5. On the Format panel, select the vertical and horizontal justification.
6. In the drawing area, click to position the tag. For example, in a generic model tag template, place the cursor at the intersection of the two reference planes. The Edit Label dialog opens.
7. Edit the label parameters. See Editing Multi-parameter Labels.
