Displaying Labels on the GeoPlan

There are two types of label available for use on the GeoPlan:

Note

Editing or setting up custom labels may have an impact on tooltips.

Auto labels

To display auto labels:

  1. Right-click in the GeoPlan Window and select Properties & Themes from the popup menu. This displays the GeoPlan Properties dialog.
  2. On the Layers and Themes page, check the AutoLabel box for each object type to be labelled. Labels will be displayed for all objects of that type.
  3. Check the Label Theme box if you want the label text to be displayed using the same colour as the current theme for the object type. You must also check the Colour As Thematic box on the Auto Labels and Tooltips page for this option to take effect. Note that theme coloured labels will not be drawn for objects displayed at very low visibility.
  4. On the Auto Labels and Tooltips page, choose any additional label display options.
Tip

The display of auto labels for CCTV defects is controlled from the CCTV Defects page.

Custom labels

Most operations with custom labels are controlled with the label tool. Click the button on the GeoPlan Tools toolbar. The cursor changes to a cursor. The label tool toggles labels on and off.

Displaying custom labels for a selection of objects

It is possible to custom label several network objects simultaneously.

Tooltips

It is also possible to configure tooltips on the Geoplan. See Customising Tooltips for further information.
