Labels and display methods : Other labels

The other Labels page of the Labels and display methods dialog box is where various types of geometric entity related labels may be switched on for display in the current Graphic view.

On assemblies​

  • Assembly IDs – displays both numbers and names
  • Assembly axes – axis triads representing the assembly axes are drawn at the assembly axis origin for each assembly, plus the assembly name
  • Assembly shapes - when the assembly has defined extents, this shows them at each calculation point

On polylines​

  • Polyline IDs
  • Polyline names

The Data IDs setting is ignored for polylines as the names and numbers are displayed explicitly.

Data IDs, such as assembly IDs, may be labelled either by number, by name or by name and number. If no name is given then the reference is by number, regardless of this setting.

The Apply to group of options determines which entities in the current Graphic View are to have the entity labels applied. They are as follows.

  • Apply to, all
  • Apply to, current set – The labels are to be applied to the same set of geometric entities to which labels are currently applied, regardless of the current cursor mode and selection set. This is only enabled when entity labels were previously applied to a selection set

Reset page​

Resets the label settings on this page to the default view settings.
