The following options are displayed.

Label

Show view label
When selected, displays view labels on detail views.
Text style
Specifies the text style to use for the detail view label.
Note: If you select the text style labelled “By NameOfCurrentDraftingStandard”, detail view labels are linked to the text style setting of the master settings of the drafting standard. This option is available only for AutoCAD Mechanical toolset detail view styles.
Text style Button
Displays the Text Style dialog, where you can create or modify text styles.
Text color
Specifies the color to use for the detail view label. If you click Select Color (at the bottom of the Color list), the Select Color dialog box is displayed. You can also enter a color name or number.
Note: If you select the color labelled “By NameOfCurrentDraftingStandard”, detail view label color is linked to the color corresponding to the text height of the detail view label (specified in the Object Property Settings dialog box). This option is available only for AutoCAD Mechanical toolset detail view styles.
Text height
Specifies the text height of the detail view label.
Note: If you select the text height labelled “By NameOfCurrentDraftingStandard”, the detail view label size is based on the base height setting in the master settings of the drafting standard. When this option is selected, the detail view label height is always one size larger than the base height setting. This option is available only for AutoCAD Mechanical toolset detail view styles.
Label position
Specifies the placement of the detail view label, in relation to the detail view.
Distance from view
Specifies the gap between the edge of the detail view and the detail view label.

Label contents

Default
Specifies the default textual content for detail view labels. You typically use the following fields within detail view labels.
  • ViewDetailId - Evaluates to the detail view identifier.
  • ViewScale - Evaluates to the scale the detail is magnified to.
  • ViewType - Always evaluates to "detail", when used in a detail view label.
Displays the Field dialog box, with the field category set to Model Documentation. When you exit the Field dialog box, the selected field is inserted at the current cursor position within the Default box. If the cursor is not within the Default box, the entire content of the Default box is replaced.
Note: The format settings of the Field dialog box do not apply to detail views created using the AMDETAIL command.

Restore Defaults

Returns all values to the default values for the drafting standard and revision the style is based on. This button is visible only for AutoCAD Mechanical toolset detail view styles.
