This command will label a coordinate on the screen. You can
choose to label the northing and easting, or the elevation, or all
three properties. The point can be picked on screen, or specified
by point number or point group from the current coordinate (.CRD)
file. Options include drawing a box around the label, labeling both
feet and meters, setting the layer name for the label, setting the
display precision, deciding whether or not to use a leader and
selecting a change in the symbol used to mark the point. You can
also set the text prefix and suffix for the label. Additionally, you can locate a label on Real Z
Axis. The Label With Inches option labels with whole feet
and inches for the decimal part. The Integers controls how
many decimals to label to the left of the decimal. The Label
Point Number option uses the point number from the coordinate
file. The Label Description option is for
including a description with the label. There is a choice for
placing this description as a header or footer. The program will
prompt for the description. The Use MText option chooses
between creating the labels as MText or regular text
entities. The Label Angle setting chooses between
having the labels horizontal, at a fixed azimuth or prompting to
pick the angle for each label. The Label Style chooses
between labeling with a leader, with a symbol, as an MLeader entity
or along the x/y axis. The Separate Negative Labels option
has prefix and suffix settings for negative coordinates that can be
used for South and West labels. The Label Lat/Lon adds
latitude and longitude labels to the coordinate labels. To use this
option, the coordinate system must be defined in the Drawing Setup
command.
Label Along Axis
There is also an option to label the Delta X, Y and/or Z between
two points, which is called Label Delta Between Two Points.
When this option is clicked On, and after the prompt, you will
first click two points locations. The label, with the delta
value(s), will then be placed precisely in between these two pick
locations. If, for example, the North, East and Elevation button is
chosen, the resulting label will show the N, E and Z delta
values.
