To Set Up Label Styles To Be Used for Tags

  1. Create a new label style and give the style a unique name.
  2. With the new style open in the Label Style Composer dialog box, click the General tab.
  3. Under Label, set the Display Mode to Tag. This sets the default state of this label style to tag mode. Then, when you label an object with this style, tags are created rather than full labels.
  4. Click the Layout tab and select the Table Tag component in the Component Name list. This component is required for labels that support tables. You cannot delete or change the name of this component.
  5. Under General, set the value of Used In property. For Table Tag components, the tag can be displayed in tag mode or in label and tag modes.
  6. Under Text, click the Value column for Contents and then click to display the Text Component Editor.
  7. Note the property listed in the Properties list. Table tags support only the Segment Number property field.
  8. In the Text Component Editor, edit the static text as needed. You can change “C” to “Curve” for example. Do not alter the property field itself.
  9. You can click the Format tab to change the tag justification or color, for example.
  10. Click OK in the Text Editor window and the Label Style Composer to close them.
  11. Use the new label style for tagging objects, and then insert an object table into the drawing.
