When labels have a clear distance paper offset and Auto-Adjust for 2 Line is specified, the offset
is calculated from the outer edge of the curve to the bottom of the text.
When Labels have a clear distance paper offset and Auto-Adjust for 1 Line is specified, the offset
is calculated from the centerline of the curve to the bottom of the text.
Labels
You can annotate objects with labels that consist of text or block definitions. The information in the label
comes from object properties, such as connection size. Labels anchor to objects, yet you can still move a
label without releasing it from its object. It is recommended that you add labels to construct drawings.
Adding Labels
For information on adding labels, see
on page 218 and
on page 317. In addition to duct and pipe, you can add labels to plumbing lines, wires, cable tray,
conduit, and schematic lines.
Modifying Labels
For more information on modifying labels on pipe objects, see
Modifying a Label or Flow Arrow
on page
332.
Changing the Label Style
You can change the label style for an existing label in a drawing. For example, you can change a standard
size label to a system label.
