Pit Label Formatter

This command places text inside each pit, labeling values such as name, quantities, and quality. Anything that is stored in the selected pits will be shown under the Available column. The formatter screen allows for placement of text in the pits by row, selecting a justification, text size, layer, and color. The text can either be drawn horizontally, aligned to a specific angle, or aligned with the long axis of the pit. There must be values stored in the pits and the pits must have direction assigned in order to use this command. 

Only items in the Used column will be labeled. Items maybe moved to the Used column by double clicking the item or by selecting and item and clicking Add.

Items may be moved up or down in the Used column with the Move Up/Down buttons, but this does not set the row position for the label. If two items are on the same row, the item higher in the list will be labeled first.

Text Size: The size of the label.
Draw as MText: This option will use MText entities for the labels rather than standard Text entities.
Use commas in numbers: This option will insert commas into the numbers.

When an item is added, the below dialog will appear to specify the settings for that item (this is the same as clicking the Edit button).

Layer: The layer used for the specific label.
Color: The color of the label.
Label Prefix/Suffix: A text prefix/suffix for the label/
Decimals: The number of decimals to use in the label. Note that this will truncate the labels rather than round the value.
Row Position: The row on which the label will be placed.
Label Alignment: Sets the alignment point for the text.

An example set of labeled pits is shown below.
