Label

Synopsis

obj = LABEL/[{LEFT|RIGHT},](origin),{obj1[,VIEW,'View Name'][,(origin)]|(origin)}'text'[,'text']+

Description

Creates a label by specifying a text string and either an object or an origin where the arrow terminates.

Parameters

Parameter

Description

LEFT and RIGHT

Determines which side of the text the leader line begins on, as viewed in a readable position. This parameter can also be controlled by using Global Parameters &LEFT and &RIGHT by entering the following statement:

&LEADER=&RIGHT or &LEADER=&LEFT

(origin)

The text location. For the methods of specification, see Defining the Origin.

obj1

An existing object at which the leader line may terminate. The object must be a point, line, arc, conic, spline, or solid edge.

NOTE: Labels are associative objects, therefore, if the object specified for the leader line termination is deleted, both objects are deleted.

VIEW

Minor word that indicates that a view name is to follow.

'View Name'

This is a string variable or literal that is the view name.

(origin)

If an object is specified for the leader line, the end position of the leader may be controlled by specifying a position, nearest the point on the object, where the leader line is to terminate. If a position is not specified, the leader line terminates at a point on the object nearest the origin of the text. See the beginning of this section for the methods of specification.

(origin)

If an object is not specified for the leader line, a position must be specified at which the leader line is to terminate. See the beginning of this section for the methods of specification.

'text'[,'text']+

The 'text' parameters may be either text between single quotes or string variables. In either case each text parameter is placed on a new line. Up to 1000 lines of text may be included. Each line of text must not exceed 132 characters.

Parameter	Description
LEFT and RIGHT	Determines which side of the text the leader line begins on, as viewed in a readable position. This parameter can also be controlled by using Global Parameters &LEFT and &RIGHT by entering the following statement: &LEADER=&RIGHT or &LEADER=&LEFT
(origin)	The text location. For the methods of specification, see Defining the Origin.

VIEW	Minor word that indicates that a view name is to follow.
'View Name'	This is a string variable or literal that is the view name.
(origin)	If an object is specified for the leader line, the end position of the leader may be controlled by specifying a position, nearest the point on the object, where the leader line is to terminate. If a position is not specified, the leader line terminates at a point on the object nearest the origin of the text. See the beginning of this section for the methods of specification.
(origin)	If an object is not specified for the leader line, a position must be specified at which the leader line is to terminate. See the beginning of this section for the methods of specification.
