Using Section View Labels

Product Documentation
Intermediate

Use the ToolspaceSettings tree to create and edit section view label styles.

You can label section views automatically when you create them, using specified label styles. After creating section views, you can also add Offset Elevation and Grade labels.

If a section view contains projected AutoCAD objects, label styles for these objects are managed as feature settings for the section view object.

Projection labels show the location of an object projected into the section view, such as a block or a point.

Use the Add Section View Labels option to access the Add Labels dialog box if you need to create or modify a style before labeling a section view.

Offset Elevation
