A spanning label helps minimize the number of labels displayed in a pressure network.
When you place the cursor over the spanning pipe label, the pipes that are in the span are highlighted. You can also use the AutoCAD list command to list the connected pipes. After adding a spanning label, you can highlight the connected pipes that comprise the span by selecting the label.
