Introduction

The Add Labels command allows users to add their own labels to Model Viewer. These labels can be used to display general notes or design data. Design data that is added to the label will dynamically update when changes are made to the design. These labels can be styled by the user via the Label Styles command.

Information on navigation in the Model Viewer 3D environment is available when reviewing the Model Viewer command help.
