To Insert Expressions Into Label Styles as Values

You can insert expressions as values to modify components in the Label Style Composer.

  1. In Toolspace, on the Settings tab, expand a label style collection. For example, expand ParcelLabel StylesLine.
  2. Right-click Line and click Edit.
  3. In the Label Style Composer dialog box, click the Layout tab and click a component modifier to access a drop-down list of compatible expressions. You can also type in a new value.
  4. Click OK.
    Note: When inserting expressions as values for text, line, block or tick components, any non-number, or "double" type property cannot be used and will not appear in the drop-down list. Height, length, or size modifiers must be absolute numbers, so that the property is converted to an absolute value. For example, if the entered value for text height is zero, the default height from drawing label style defaults will be used.

    The tables below list the Label Style Composer component modifiers that support expressions.
