Labels - *12​.1​.SP4*

Description

In 12.1.SP4 there are many improvements for creating and modifying labels. Above all, the user interface is completely new and offers a whole new experience when working with labels. Some of the new features are:

Support for symbolic templates

You can now create labels based on symbolic template, which can be much more advanced that the general labels.

Much fewer "clicks" to create labels

You will now start by selecting all properties of the label. You can then place this label for many models.

Better support for intelligent texts

It is now possible for the system administrator to create a predefined set of intelligent texts with descriptions. The user can then select from this list and does not need to know how to form the expressions.

Move the leader line start position

For existing labels, created manually or via autotagging, you can now modify the leader line start position with the new function "ModifyLabelLeader line start".

Label placement

There is a new function, "ModifyLabel Placement", which can be used for intelligent placement of a selection of labels. The labels can be spread with "remote placement" or "local placement" with a number of options.

Delete labels created by autotagging

The function "EditDeleteLabel" will now allow you to delete also labels created via autotagging. (Please note that this only works if you have run autotagging in 12.1.SP4.)

Benefits

Labels can now be created in an easy and efficient way.

Compatibility Constraints

None.
