Editing a Label Drawing in the Floor Plan Drawing

You can edit the drawing file of a label added to the floor plan drawing as follows:

1. Select the label in the basic mode of the program.
2. Right-click to open the contextual menu.
3. Select Properties. The Label Properties dialog box opens.
4. Select Open Label 2D File. The drawing file is opened in a separate drawing window.
5. Click OK to close the dialog box.
6. Edit the drawing. Add, for example, lines, hatches or text, or edit their properties.
   • The contents of the label (prefix and sequential number, for example) are read in the #PRE# text macro.
   • If you select the Covering text style, the label hides the hatch in a drawing with hidden lines removed.
   • If an add-on feature for dimensioning structures is available to you, the calculation label of a part is read in the #CLABEL# text macro.
7. Press Ctrl+S to save the drawing.
8. Close the drawing window. You will be prompted: "Save changes to the selected label and all the labels in the same group?"
9. Select either of the following:
   • Yes - The change is updated to all the labels in the floor plan drawing that use the drawing file in question.
   • No - All the labels in the floor plan drawing will remain unchanged.

Note

• The change is project-specific and only applies to the labels that are in the floor plan drawing when the change is made. The drawing file saved in the library remains unchanged.
• If you require the labels to use the original drawing files saved in the library, delete the labels, and re-add them.
• You can edit a drawing file saved in the library by editing the label library.
