This command allows you to fix text overlaps for where different
text overlap each other or where text crosses linework entities.
You can either have the program automatically fix overlaps by using
rules or just find the overlaps and step-through them to review and
fix with CAD edits as needed.
In the options dialog, you can choose which rules to try for
fixing the overlaps. The rules are applied in the order of the Used
Methods list. If using a rule doesn't clear the text from overlaps,
then the program tries the next rule.
The Slide rule moves the text parallel to text angle. The labels will not move past the Max Slide amount.
The Offset rule moves the text perpendicular to text
angle. The labels will not move past the Max Offset
amount.
The Avoid Linework Conflicts option checks for text
overlaps with linework entities. Otherwise only overlaps with other
text entities are checked.
The Overlap Manager can be
used to manually check and change label overlaps that aren't solved
by the automatic rules. With the View Remaining Overlaps After
Applying Rules option, any remaining overlaps will show in the
Overlap Manager. Use the Back and Next buttons to step through each
text conflict. The Auto-Zoom option zooms the dwg to show the
current overlap. The Skip Resolved option shows only the unresolved
conflicts. The Status option shows whether a conflict is resolved
and lets you change the status. The Slide function moves text along
the text angle. The Move function does an unrestricted move of the
text. The Move With Leader function moves the text and creates a
leader between the original and new locations. The Offset functions
move the text perpendicular to the text angle.
When View Last Overlap File is checked, the Overlap Manager will return to the previous labels that were under review.
When Skip Resolved Overlaps is unchecked, the Overlap Manager will display all the labels that were moved by the command as a final check for you.
Restore Original Zoom will restore the zoom you were previously at before running the command.Avoid Label Overlap dialog
