Details on Customizing Labels in the Section "Label Components <" /”Label Objects <”
Information on customizing and extending labels in the Label Components < or Label Objects < section (District Networks discipline).
You can customize the label files in the section Label Components </ Label Objects < to display the drawing element data in the drawing according to your needs. To do this, you have to add variables or static texts to the control texts contained in the label file.
Label Files with Static Texts
As an example for the use of variables together with static text in labels, an air duct with a length of 1350 mm is used in the following tables.
The following table shows some examples of the use of static texts in label files:
| Element in the label | Result |
|---|---|
| <<LIN_3D_LENGTH>> | 1350 |
| << LIN_3D_LENGTH >> mm | 1350 mm |
| << LIN_3D_LENGTH+>> | 1350 mm |
| Length: << LIN_3D_LENGTH >> mm | Length: 1350 mm |
| <<Length:|LIN_3D_LENGTH>> | Length: 1350 |
| <<Length:|LIN_3D_LENGTH| mm>> | Length: 1350 mm |
| <<Length:|LIN_3D_LENGTH+>> | Length: 1350 mm |
Label Files with Unit and Specified Number of Decimal Places
You can define the unit of linear measures as well as the number of decimal places in a label different from the standard output of the unit. To do this, add the :U_m_2 addition to the label variable, for example. The information after U (for Unit) stands for the measuring unit (m, cm, mm) and the number of decimal places (1, 2, 3, etc.).
The following table shows some examples of use:
| Element in the label | Result |
|---|---|
| <<Length:|LIN_3D_LENGTH>> | Length: 1350 |
| <<Length:|LIN_3D_LENGTH: U_m_2>> | Length: 1:35 |
| <<Length:| LIN_3D_LENGTH: U_m_3| m>> | Length: 1,350 m |
| <<Length:|LIN_3D_LENGTH: U_cm_2| cm>> | Length: 135.00 cm |
| << LIN_3D_LENGTH: U_cm_1| cm>> | 135.0 cm |
