Exercise 4: Working with Label Properties

In this exercise, you will use standard AutoCAD tools to control properties for
both individual labels and group labels.
You can change the properties of:
an individual label object
a label object group
an individual label object
In this exercise, you will change all of these properties.
For more information, see the AutoCAD Civil 3D Help topic Modifying Labels
in a Drawing.

Examine label properties
NOTE This exercise uses Labels-2b.dwg with the modifications you made in the
previous exercise.
1 On the command line, enter LIST.
2 On the West Street alignment, click a station label and a bearing over
distance label. Press Enter.
The AutoCAD Text Window appears, displaying the object type, label
type, and layer of the selected label objects.
For example, in AECC_ALIGNMENT_STATION_LABEL_GROUP
ALIGNMENT is the object type
STATION_LABEL indicates that it is a station label object
GROUP indicates that the label object is part of a label group
AECC_ALIGNMENT_TANGENT_LABEL is not followed by GROUP because
it is an individual object label.
3 Close the AutoCAD Text Window.
Next, you will change the label style of an individual label object.
