Labelling Style
|
- None - No Labels
are generated for display. Use this setting to turn off labeling for the
selected feature.
- By Layer -
Provides options to create a simple label definition.
- Thematic -
Provides options to create a complex label definition and blends the labeling
capabilities of the layer style with thematic mapping. In addition to creating
text from property data, the symbology of the text elements can be based on
user-defined classes. The interface for defining the classes is the same as
thematic mapping for layers of type Point-Text.
See the Thematic mapping section for details on
how to create thematic mapping classes.
After classes have been generated, the text string
to be placed is defined in the Labeling section. Other parameters can be set
and changed as needed.

Text Style - Sets the text parameters to match those of the selected text
style. All the fields can be further edited for custom formatting.

Labeling
|
- Text String - The
actual value of the label displayed in the view. It can consist of a static
text that you enter to prepend or append the feature property. Available
feature properties are accessed from the pulldown list and are entered into the
Text String field when selected. Feature properties are enclosed in square
brackets.
Complex labeling can be created by adding text and
functions to the Text String entry. For example, this followng line of code
will produce the label below. The \n causes a newline to be inserted into the
labeling.
Value: $[PropVal]\nArea: [XFM.Round([Geometry_Area],2)] sq. m
- Origin - Specifies
the label origin relative to the feature instance.
- For point
features, the origin is the same point calculated by the Element Origin snap.
- Linear
features provide the following Origin options:
- Element
Origin - The same point calculated by the Element Origin snap.
- Element
Mid - The same point calculated by the Element Center snap.
- Element
End - The opposite endpoint that would be calculated by an Element Origin snap.
- Options for
Polygon features:
- Element
Origin - The same point calculated by the Element Origin snap.
- Element
Center - The same point calculated by the Element Center snap.
- Offset X,Y and Z -
Specifies the offset from the point specified by Origin. The offset could be
typed or extracted from a property.
- Orientation -
Specifies the orientation of the labeling.
- Fixed - Places
the labeling at the orientation specified by Text Angle in the Formatting
section.
- Element
Relative - Places the labeling on the same angle as the element being labeled.
If there is an angle specified in the Text Angle setting of the Formatting
section, then that value will be added to the angle determined by the element.

Formatting

These options set the common MicroStation
formatting options. See the MicroStation documentation for details. Fixed size
sets the size for the text relative to the screen. If Fixed Size is False, the
values specified are in master units. If fixed size is True then the values
specified are relative to the screen. The text size will not change when
zooming in and out.
