Labeling Table The labeling table contains the following columns: Element —Shows the type of element to which the label applies. On —Turns automatic element labeling on and off for the associated element type. Next —Type the integer you want to use as the starting value for the ID number portion of the label. HAMMER CONNECT generates labels beginning with this number and chooses the first available unique label. Increment —Type the integer that is added to the ID number after each element is created to yield the number for the next element. Prefix —Type the letters or numbers that appear in front of the ID number for the elements in your network. Digits —Type the minimum number of digits that the ID number has. For instance, 1, 10, and 100 with a digit setting of two would be 01, 10, and 100. Suffix —Type the letters or numbers that appear after the ID number for the elements in your network. Preview —Displays what the label looks like based on the information you have entered in the previous fields.
