Label Properties

Label lets you modify the label properties.

Select this tab to access Label content properties.

This page discusses:

Content

Color
Defines the color that is used for all the subelements of the label.

  • When No Color is defined, the values of each subelement of the label are taken into account for display.
  • When you define this property (by choosing the required color from the list), it overrides the properties of all the subelements of the label for display.

Linetype
Defines the linetype that is used for all the subelements of the label.

  • When No Linetype is defined, the values of each subelement of the label are taken into account for display.
  • When you define this property (by choosing the required linetype from the list), it overrides the properties of all the subelements of the label for display.

Thickness
Defines the thickness that is used for all the subelements of the label.

  • When No Width is defined, the values of each subelement of the label are taken into account for display.
  • When you define this property (by choosing the required thickness value from the list), it overrides the properties of all the subelements of the label for display.

Scale

Width
Defines the width of the label.
Height
Defines the height of the label.

This option is not available in the following cases:

  • The Allow non uniform scale check box is cleared. In this case, height has the same value as width.
  • The Lock aspect ratio check box is selected. If the width of the label is changed, then the height value changes according to the locked ratio on the label.

Allow non uniform scaling
Defines the scaling of labels non uniformly.

  • If you clear this check box, the Lock aspect ratio check box is selected and is not available for modification.
  • Only label templates can be scaled non uniformly.
  • This check box is not available if the label contains annotations in it.
  • The nonuniform scaling of labels is inherited from the label template to its instances.

Lock aspect ratio
Defines the locking of the aspect ratio between the width and height of the label.

When this check box is selected, the height is not modifiable and shows value according to the last locked ratio of the label.

This check box is available only when the Allow non uniform scale check box is selected for a label.
