You can create new label styles that are derived from existing styles and styles that are independent of existing label styles. When you edit a label style, all labels in the drawing that use that style are updated.
Tutorial: Working with Label Styles
Topics in this section
- Creating New Label Styles
Define the settings for a new or existing label style by using the Label Style Composer.
- Creating Label Styles for Lines, Curves, and Polylines
Line, Curve, and Polyline labels use the styles that are defined in the GeneralLabel Styles collection in the Settings tree.
- Creating Note Labels
Note label styles are inserted at selected points in the drawing, and are not physically attached to specific objects. They can use Referenced Text components to contain references to other objects in the drawing.
- Editing Label Styles
Use the Edit Label Style command to specify a label style for an object, to create a new style, or to copy or edit an existing label style.
- Modifying Label Style Content
Label content contains information that is linked directly to an object and consists of text, symbols, blocks, lines, ticks, and direction arrows. Set up this content by using the Label Style Composer.
- Setting Up Label Styles To Be Used as Tags
If a label style supports the use of tags and tables, there are a few unique properties you can manage in the style by changing settings in the Label Style Composer.
