Annotative Parcel Labels??

[hellnback]

Hi all,

 

I have a parcel with a huge amount of little lines which all need a bearing and distance on them. No worries, added the labels.

 

The problem I have is that I'd like to do a detail on some of the more 'tight' areas and have the labels for that area not show up on the main plan. If I was using text I'd just do a couple of anno scales, is there a way to do the same thing with Parcel labels.

Hope this makes sense .

 

Cheers,

 

Brad

so are you using viewports and putting these labels onto a separate layer such that you can turn them off in your zoomed in view?

[hellnback]

Yeah, definatley using Viewports.

Well I could do separate layers, but would prefer to use anno scales if at all possible.

I thought the parcel labels would adjust based on the viewport... or maybe it's just the scale settings of the dwg? If they aren't adjusting check the styles. I'm home so I can't do much to help til Monday.

You could try changing the labels to "tags" in that area and have it in "table" form. Then edit the label style by changing the tags visibility value to "false".

Yeah they do adjust automatically, but I want them to display based on the anno scale. Eg Display @ 1:5000 but not at 1:20000.

 

Ended up just sticking the ones I want displayed on a different layer, but would still like to know if it can be done with anno scales.

 

Cheers.

Did you do a regenall after changing the viewport scale?

I like to put them in using a table. You can make the text annotative in a table. Hope this may be of help.

No. Anno scales have no affect on C3D labels, unfortunately. It has to do with the fact that C3D labels have been around longer than Annotative scales.

 

It would be nice if Autodesk changed labels to work on the Anno scale (or at least made it another option in the Label Style), but I don't know if that's in the plans or not...
