You usually add labels to drawings when you create objects such as points, alignments, or parcels. You can also add labels after you create the objects.
You can also insert labels using the Annotate tab. This tab provides an efficient work environment for when you are ready to label objects that you have created. This tab provides quick access to all Autodesk Civil 3D feature-specific commands. Before using this tab, set your default label settings for best results as you are able to quickly label objects in rapid succession.
The labels that are created when you create objects can be deleted. Specifically, you can erase a whole group of labels and restore them by resetting the label group. You can also hide a single label and restore its visibility by resetting the label group. You can also explode labels and delete the labels that you manually insert.
