About Section Labels

Use the ToolspaceSettings tree to create and edit section label styles.

When you create sections, specify which label styles to use. Sections can be labeled automatically when created, using the specified label set. After creating a section, you can also add labels.

Use either the Section Labels or the Section View Properties dialog box to add labels.

You can select a section label style in the Section Labels or Section View Properties dialog box, or create or edit a style in the Label Style Composer.

Label Set

The default set of label styles to use for sections when a section view object is created.
