Gaps in Labels

The Gap Manager form is used to create and delete gaps in lines, such as label leader lines, and linear, angular and radial dimension, and projection lines.

1. The form is displayed by selecting Create Gaps on the Labels form:

   

   The Gap Manager form displays.

   

   The form will be greyed out if the Current Element is not on an element type that allows gaps to be created (SLAB, GLAB, DPOI, DPPT and DPBA).

2. Select the arrow to navigate and pick a label to create and delete gaps on. It is never greyed out, except when the graphics are in pick mode.

   The form is tracking and will grey out and grey in when you navigate around the drawing and database. It contains the following tool functions:

   Button	Function
   	Allows you to select and navigate to a label in the 2D view.
   	Creates a single gap on the current label. Click on the leader line of the label where the gap is to be created.
   	Creates a number of gaps on the current label using the same method as above. Press Cancel on the qualifier form when finished. Note that no more than 10 gaps per label are allowed.
   	Creates a gap of varying gap distance. The first click defines the start point of the gap and the second click defines the end point. A ghost line circle is displayed between the first and second pick as feedback (in the feedback colour) so that you can see how big the gap will be after the second click.
   	Creates many of the previous 2 point gaps as required. No more than 10 gaps on one label can be created.
   	Deletes a single gap by clicking on or near the gap to be deleted.
   	Deletes many gaps on the current label; this is similar to the previous method.
   	Deletes all gaps on the current label. Note you will not be asked if they are to be deleted.
