You can insert or omit labels on match lines, specify label location, and design and specify match line label styles that suit your needs.
Use the Match Lines page of the Create View Frames wizard to select a label style and label location for the left and right side match lines.
If you do not want labels to be displayed on match lines, turn off their visibility using the match line label style.
Use the Left Label Location and the Right Label Location options on the Match Lines page in the Create View Frames wizard to select where the match line labels will be placed. Select from the following locations:
- Start: Places the match line label at the start of the match line, near the top of the view frame.
- End: Places the match line label at the end of the match line, near the bottom of the view frame.
- Middle: Places the match line label at the middle of the match line.
- Alignment Intersection: Places the match line label where the alignment intersects the match line.
In the Match Line collection in the Toolspace Settings tree, you can create and edit match line label styles. For the match line text component, by default you can select from the following properties to add to a match line label:
- Match Line Name
- Match Line Number
- View Frame Group Alignment Name
- View Frame Group Name
- Match Line Station Value
- Match Line Raw Station Value
- Previous Sheet Number
- Next Sheet Number
If you use the Previous Sheet Number or the Next Sheet Number properties in your match line labels, this information displays as “####” in the match line label until the sheets are generated. After the sheets are generated, the match line label is populated with appropriate sheet number information.
