About Point Labels and Tables

Label and table styles control the appearance and behavior of point labels and tables in a drawing.

Point Labels

Assign a point label style to a drawing point either when you create the point or import the point. Use the Points list view on the Prospector tab or the Point Editor to change the style. The point style referenced by a point is not necessarily the point style used to display the point in the drawing.

You can label points when you create them, or you can use point groups and description keys to specify how points are labeled in a drawing. You can also edit text on individual point labels.

Point Tables

Use Point tables to display information about points in a drawing.

Specify the points to include in the table by selecting them from the drawing or specifying a point group. The point information is automatically displayed in the table when you insert the point table into the drawing.

Unlike some objects, that have multiple table styles, points have only the point table style.

You create and edit tables for most objects using the same common procedures and standard dialog boxes.
