This command allows you to customize the labeling for lines and
polylines. You are first prompted to select a line or polyline to
label,
given the existing defaults currently set. The linework is shown as
labeled on the screen. The command line, shown
below, also offers you an important choice called Options. When you
type 'O' for options the below dialog box appears. In this dialog,
there are three
columns at the top of the
dialog, along with other features. On the command line, there is also a
choice called Format (F), which allows you to enter quick-key style
keywords for quickly changing the label format. See below for these
Row: This column allows you to stack the data in
different
ways. You can place more than one item in the same row. If None is
selected, then that item will not be displayed.
Side: This column allows
you to place each item either inside or outside of the line or
polyline.
Order:
This column determines the order of items when they are placed in the
same
row.
