On the Description elements tab of the Reinforcement description (bar shape) dialog, you can define parameters such as colors, line thickness, font size, and label shape for a description.
The options included in the Position field refer to a label and the number that the label contains (see the drawing below).

The active position referred to here is specified on the Reinforcement description dialog (see the drawing below). If Active is selected for a given position, you choose a color from the Active list. If Active is not selected, you choose a color for this position from the Not active list.
