Favorites

The Favorites feature in the Text Editor window allows you to store and reuse commonly used label text. A favorite can also include a text field.

You can create text favorites in a .dgnlib file that is located at a path defined in the MS_DGNLIBLIST_TEXTFAVORITES configuration variable. These can then be reused in your dgn files.

Favorites are also auto-generated when you label an object that has custom item types defined.

Categories for Favorites

You can create custom categories for favorites. When you create a text favorite, prefix the category name followed by a colon as the delimiter. For example, you want a favorites "switch" and "fan" to be categorized as "Electrical", you would add them as Electrical:switch and Electrical:fan.

The auto-generated favorites are automatically categorized as Auto Favorites.
