Controlling the Label Placement
This section is a continuation of Attaching Label and Grid Styles to a Frame in
this chapter.
This section describes how to use the Label Placement Data section of the Edit
Attached Styles dialog box to control the placement of the labels in relation to
frames and to the viewports.
NOTE
Grid styles do not require you to specify label placement options.
To control the label placement
1 Select a Design Data Point.
2 From the Label Location list, select a location for the label to position the label
within a frame. You can choose among the following label location options:
n
Intersection: For more information, see Example: Intersection in this
chapter.
n
Incremental: For more information, see Example: Incremental in this
chapter.
n
Design: For more information, see Example: Design in this chapter.
n
Design aligned: For more information, see Example: Design Aligned in
this chapter.
n
Design incremental: For more information, see Example: Design
Incremental in this chapter.
n
Fixed: For more information, see Example: Fixed in this chapter.
3 If you chose Incremental, Fixed, or Intersection as the Label Location, select the
Frame Justification.
4 If you chose Incremental or Design Incremental as the Label Location, specify
an increment value in the Label Increment edit box.
This value is the labeling increment between labels based on the Design Data
Point. If you want stations labeled every 25.00 feet, then you should set the
Design Data Point to Station, and specify 25.00 as the increment. If you are
labeling an alignment and choose Incremental (for a profile view frame), you
may choose 50 to label every 50 station (not 50 feet apart in paper space). In
the plan view, you may choose design incremental and use the same 50 to label
every 50 station along the alignment.
5 Select the Draw Line Marker check box to draw a line from the label style
location in the frame to the design point youre labeling.
6 Use the Horizontal and Vertical offset edit boxes to control where the labels are
placed in relation to the calculated insertion point.
7 Click the Add button to add any additional styles.
8 Click OK.
9 Save the sheet style.
