- Select a column grid bubble tool on a tool palette.
A column grid bubble tool is located on the Annotation palette.
- Select the desired node on the column grid you want to label.
- In the Create Grid Bubble dialog box, you can either choose to confirm the tool settings for label prefix, extension line length, and one- or two-sided labelling, or you can overwrite them. Click OK when the settings are according to your wishes.
- To label more nodes on the column grid, select them and repeat the previous step.
- To end the bubble creation, press Enter.
The column grid bubble tool shipped with AutoCAD Architecture 2023 toolset is a multi-view block referencing a bubble definition in a block. To edit the block, you must run the BEDIT command.
Note: Column grid bubbles that have been inserted with a column grid bubble tool can be modified in the drawing and saved back as a tool on a tool palette. By default, a column grid bubble tool created that way will have the same layer key, layer overrides, symbol, label prefix, extension line length, attribute text style, and attribute text angle as the original tool that was used to create the annotation symbol in the drawing. The symbol location will be the current drawing.
