To Set Up Label Expressions

  1. In Toolspace, on the Settings tab, expand a label style type collection.

    For example, expand Parcel Label Styles Line.

  2. Right-click Expressions and click New.
  3. In the Expressions dialog box, enter a name and description for the expression.
    Note: It is recommended that you use a clear naming convention such as “Parcel line expression: Length in meters” so you can distinguish them when composing a label style.
  4. Click the Insert Property button and select a property from the list.

    The property appears in the editor box.

  5. Add functions, constants, and logical operators to complete the equation.
    Note: Do not insert anything into the curly brackets that surround the property fields.
    • Use the calculator buttons or click in the editor field and use your keypad to enter numbers and mathematical operators like * (multiply) or \ (divide).
    • Use the Insert Function button to insert mathematical functions like TAN.
  6. Specify how the expression should be formatted by selecting a format from the Format Result As list.
  7. Click OK.
