Network Labels

Introduction

Network Labels enable the user to label a pipe network on plan, with the option to customise each label style. The user can customise the labels of the individual pipes and pits, depending on requirements.

Both pits/structures and pipes can be labelled at the same time using this command.  There are enhancements to the label control (text offset, rotation, inclusion of leaders, borders, etc) with the label presentation being driven by Label Styles.

If any pipe network is updated, the Synchronise command should be run to update all labels.

Note: For basic network labelling, users can still use the Label Network command to label the pipe network.

Once a Description (Label Set) is assigned and labels created, the software will then provide a different form when the command is next run, enabling the user to create multiple Label Sets and select a Label Set to edit.

Details

Upon selecting the command the following form is displayed, unless the command has not been run before (in which case the form below is skipped). The user is required to choose an existing Label set or create a new one:
