Use the Edit Label Text command to override content of individual labels.

For certain label object types, you can override the content of individual labels. This override is useful if you want to add additional text specific to a certain label.

If you have edited the label text, this allows you to clear those edits. The label will only display what is in the style.

Overrides are supported for the following label types:

    • Line
    • Curve
    • Note
    • Profile View Station Elevation
    • Surface Spot Elevation
    • Section View Offset Elevation
    • Segment

After you have overridden a label component, any changes you make to the text content in the label style are not applied until you clear the label text overrides. Changes you make to the non-text content in the label style (such as border, visibility, or color) are still applied to the overridden label.
