To Add the Elevation Label to the AutoCAD DesignCenter

Use this procedure to add user-defined elevation labels to DesignCenter.

To add the elevation label to AutoCAD DesignCenter, you need to create a DWG file in the AEC Content Wizard.

  1. On the command line, enter aeccreatecontent.
  2. Select Custom Command.
  3. Select the multi-view block you created, and click Add to add it to the Content File.
  4. For the Command string, enter aecannoscheduletagadd, followed by a space and then the name of the multi-view block, and its parameters. The command is built as follows:

    _AecAnnoScheduleTagAdd <name of the drawing containing the property set definition>.dwg _SYMBOL <name of the multi-view block created> _LEADER _None _DIMSTYLE _Current

    In our example, the custom command could look like this:

    _AecAnnoScheduleTagAdd ElevationLabelPropertySetDefs.dwg _SYMBOL ElevationLabelMVBlock _LEADER _None _DIMSTYLE _Current

  5. Click Next.
  6. Select Enable AEC Unit Scaling.
  7. Select a layer key for the label.
    Note: The default layer key for elevation labels is DIMLINE.
  8. Click Next.
  9. Enter a file name and a folder for the label.
    Note: Be sure to save the custom label in a folder one level below the used property set definition drawing. If the property set definition drawing is saved in C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ACA <version>\enu\AEC Content\Metric\Documentation\Elevation Labels, then the custom label could be saved in C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\ACA <version>\enu\AEC Content\Metric\Documentation\Elevation Labels\Custom Labels.
  10. Click Finish.
