Setting Up Label Settings and Styles

Specify settings for labels at various levels in the hierarchal Settings tree. In addition, you define specific settings for individual labels in the label styles, which manage label content.

The highest levels of settings can serve as a general prototype model for settings that are lower in the hierarchy. Those settings, if not locked at the drawing level, can be overridden in subordinate settings.
