This command allows you to customize the labeling for arcs. You are first prompted to select an arc to label, given the existing defaults currently set. The arc 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. There are four columns at the top of the dialog along by other features.
Label: This first column
allows you to set the prefix that will go before your arc data.
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 arc.
Order: This column
determines the order of items when they are placed in the same
row.
Flip Text on Arcs that Open to the North: When this is
checked text will be orientated according to the open side of your
arcs instead of being orientated according to the plain
view.
Use Symbol for Delta Angle Label: Allows you to use the
triangle symbol for delta as the label instead of plain alphabetic
or numeric representation.
General Settings: This
button brings you to the Annotate Defaults dialog, see 'Annotate
Defaults' for more.
Reset To Defaults: This
button restores the default settings shown above.
Load/Save: You may also Load and Save
different label configurations with the corresponding
buttons.
