Label Text

You can enter multiple lines of text in this box by using the Enter key.

If you choose to align link labels with the link, rather than displaying them horizontally, then multi-line text is displayed on one line.

If there is no entry in this box, the Object ID will be displayed in the label.

Tip:

  • You can include the values of object fields by typing the object database field name enclosed within curly brackets.

    For example: Enter Pipe material = {material} in the text box to display Pipe material = PVC on the label.

    Details of database field names can be found in the Network data field information topic.
