Attaching Labels and Grids to Frames
To label design information, you must attach labels, such as text labels, to the
frame. There is no limit to the number of label and grid styles that can be
attached to a frame. You can control where the labels appear by choosing
different placement options.
For example, to create the station labels on the plan view
in this illustration, you would do the following:
1 Format the text label style so that it labels
alignment|station.
2 Attach the label to the plan/view frame using
Alignment|Station as the Design Data Point and
using Design Incremental as the Label Location. In
order for these label placement options to place labels
at 50 increments, you must first set the label increment
to 50.
By choosing Design Incremental as the Label Location,
the labels are placed directly on the alignment. As the
alignment curves, the rotation of the labels is adjusted to
follow the curves.
You can perform the step 2 in the preceding list by using the Create/Edit Frame
command. When you select Text under the Attached Labels section, the Edit
Attached Text Labels dialog box is displayed. Use the Label Placement Data
section of this dialog box to control the placement of the labels.
The following screen capture shows the the Edit Attached Text Labels
dialog box:
