Parameters of a view label can be customized either in the Parameters tool window or in the Parameters dialog
Following tabs are displayed in the parameters window, during creation of a view label:
•Style.
The tab contains following parameters:
Text over Line:
•Text
Main text of a label.
•Offset
Vertical distance between an anchor point and a bottom of main text.
•Auto
This checkbox is enabled by default, upon calling the command. As a result, the first letter in the alphabet, which is not used by other views, gets assigned as a label's main text. If all letters are used, then a subscript index number gets added to the letter (A1, B1, ... Z1, A2, B2 and so on). In future, upon deleting a view, names of all views, that are below the name of the deleted one in alphabetical order, will be automatically reassigned, in order to ensure the continuous numbering. If you disable this checkbox upon creating or editing a view label, its main text will remain the same independently of names of other views.
•Zone and Page Display
A number of a zone and/or number of a page, where a linked view arrow, cutting line or detail circle is located, can be added to the main text of a label. The drop-down list contains following options of number display: No, Zone, Page, Page and Zone, Page or Zone. The result of applying the Page or Zone option depends on document parameters for the page of linked view arrow, cutting line, or detail circle (Document Parameters > Page > Paper > Zones > Zones). If the Detect Zones for Bills of Materials parameter there has the No value, then a number of sheet is displayed, otherwise - number of zone.
If a text of a label is defined by selecting a linked element, then the label automatically gets the same Zone and Page Display option as the linked element. In such case, manual change of the option for the label invokes a dialog, where the system asks, if the same option should be applied to the linked element, and vice versa.
The detailed information on zones and their customization is available in the Zones. Document Parameters section.
Text under Line.
•Text
The additional text, which is located under the main one.
•Offset
•Vertical distance between an anchor point and a top of additional text.
Underline Text
Enabling this checkbox draws a horizontal line between the main and additional texts through the anchor point. Length of the line is equal to the width of the main text.
Line Width
Thickness of the underline. If a value is displayed in the square brackets, then it is defined by document parameters (Document Parameters > Page > Lines > Lines > Other Lines).
