Use this tab to control various default abbreviations used in drawing labels and reports.
For example, the default abbreviation for Spiral-Tangent Intersect is TS, meaning any spiral-tangent intersections in a drawing are labeled TS. If you need spiral-tangent intersection labels to be more detailed or different, change the abbreviation by clicking in the value column and changing the TS value.
In the Alignment Geometry Point Entity Data section the values also contain format strings that describe entity properties that will display in the label. For more information see, About Property Field Modifiers.
