Creating Label Styles
To understand how to label and set up sheets with the Sheet Manager
commands, you should understand the concept of styles. A style
applies specific formatting to the information that is contained in
your drawing. For example, you can apply a style to a paragraph in a
word processing document to make the paragraph indented or bold.
A label style works in a similar way. A label style contains information
about what to label, as well as how. When you set up a label style, you
could choose Alignment/Stations as what to label. You could choose
design/incremental as how to place these labels. What would show up
on the sheet are labels that appear along the alignment at station
increments, as shown in the following illustration.
Creating Sheet Styles
A sheet style contains all of the layout and labeling information for
the sheets. A sheet style contains a sheet border and title block,
viewports, and frames.
Like label styles, sheet styles contain information about what to label,
as well as how. They also contain information about how the model
space entities will appear on sheets.
