4 In the Label Offset tab, specify the insertion point for the tip of the leader
object in Start.
The Start setting has no effect on freestanding labels.
5 Enter both X and Y offset values in Leader Offset to specify the offset of
the label from the tip of the leader object.
By default, the X and Y offset values are set to 1, indicating that the label
is offset by one drawing unit in both the X and the Y directions from the
tip of the leader object.
6 Enter both X and Y offset values in Tip Offset to specify the offset for the
leader object or, for freestanding labels, the offset of the label from the
insertion point you specify for the label.
Update Labels with New Values from the
Database
After you have added labels to your AutoCAD drawings, you may make occa-
sional changes to the database tables that affect the label values. If you make
frequent changes to your database tables, you must regularly update the
labels in your drawings to ensure data integrity.
To update all label values in the current drawing
1 In the dbConnect Manager, in the tree view, right-click a drawing file.
2 On the shortcut menu, click Reload Labels.
