Labeling Objects
You can label the lines, curves, spirals, and polylines in your drawings
by using the AutoCAD Land Development Desktop labeling
commands. Each object can have more than one label. You can

you can use one of the pre-defined label styles included with

information either along an object, at a point next to the object, or in
a table.
Depending on your requirements, you can choose from three different
labeling methods:
■
Dynamic labels: Creates labels that update automatically.
■
Static labels: Creates labels that never change if you move the
