Building Dimensions

This command labels the length of line and polyline segments. The label is located in the middle of the line or polyline segment. The options for Building Dimensions are set in the Survey Text Defaults dialog. This dialog is found in Settings > Configure > Survey Settings. One option in Survey Text Defaults labels all the segments of a closed polyline with one pick of the polyline. Otherwise, the procedure is to pick a line or polyline segment and then choose an alignment. Depending where the alignment point is picked, the label is drawn either perpendicular or parallel, above or below the line.
