This tutorial demonstrates how to define the behavior, appearance, and content of labels using label styles.
Like other AutoCAD Civil 3D objects, every label in a drawing has a style associated with it. If you edit a label style, changes are immediately reflected in all labels in the drawing that use that style.
For more information, see the AutoCAD Civil 3D Help topic Creating and Editing Label Styles.
