Labels - Autodesk 235B1-05A761-1301 - AutoCAD MEP 2010 User Manual

4 To specify where the label is placed relative to the curve, select one of the following options:
Offset option
Auto-Adjust for 2 Line
Auto-Adjust for 1 Line
Force Outside of Bounding Box
None
5 If desired, enter a value for Clear Distance Paper Offset.
When labels have a clear distance paper offset and Auto-Adjust for 2 Line is specified, the offset
is calculated from the outer edge of the curve to the bottom of the text.
When Labels have a clear distance paper offset and Auto-Adjust for 1 Line is specified, the offset
is calculated from the centerline of the curve to the bottom of the text.

Labels

You can annotate objects with labels that consist of text or block definitions. The information in the label
comes from object properties, such as connection size. Labels anchor to objects, yet you can still move a
label without releasing it from its object. It is recommended that you add labels to construct drawings.
Adding Labels
For information on adding labels, see
to Pipe on page 317. In addition to duct and pipe, you can add labels to plumbing lines, wires, cable tray,
conduit, and schematic lines.
Modifying Labels
