Label Tool, Member Labels, and "Label All Members"

Craig Bagley — Fri, 19 May 2023 13:58:32 GMT

I'm finding when trying to label a curtain wall, using the Member Labels feature, or "Label All Members" command, that if I choose "Text", "ID", or "Unique ID", nothing shows when placed, other than a pointer (and that without an arrowhead!). There's no text. Selecting any placed label shows something is responding to the different choices, based on the spacing of selection dots.

Symbol labels work.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Craig:

I just tried this and got the same result. What I discovered (but may not be the issue in your case): I selected the Label Tool and Select All Labels and opened the Label Selections Settings dialog box and discovered: that all the pens were set to Pen 1 (white) inspite of Pen 1 being a color in my Pen Set, the text set to .28 point (very small). Changing these settings made the labels visible. Seems like a bug if this is what is happening on your end also.

Thanks, David. You solved it.

I opened a fresh default template file to duplicate your steps. In my case the default color was pen 46, so the real source of the problem was the default text size of .28 pt. Same problem with the arrowhead: .28 pt.

Thanks again, for your time and attention.
