Wall indicator

I am trying to add the wall indicator and looking through the youtube, I can't find the check-box that has the LABEL ELEMENT in the Wall Setting. Has this moved?

Hi Llian,

Labels received an overhaul in version 19 so they behave a little differently.

Now you can either:
• Activate the label tool; pick the appropriate label type or favorite; then click on the element to label it.
OR
• Select multiple elements you wish to label; click the "Label Selected Elements" button* (or go to Document > Label Selected Elements*).

*USA version Standard Profile 20 only:
- Label Selected Elements button is on the standard toolbar to the left of the eyedropper.
- Menu = Document > Label Selected Elements
The INT version Standard Profile 20:
- Menu item is under Document > Annotation > Label Selected Elements

~~Best regards,~~

Hi Llian,

Select the label and open its settings dialog. Then adjust items in the Text Style, Pointer, Symbol Label and Custom Settings panels. You may need to adjust settings in one panel to allow changes in another. For instance, with the "Identification and Property Label 20" you must check the "Frame" check box in the Text Style Panel and then control the Frame Shape under Custom Settings > Label Geometry.

In the case of NCS Indicator 20, it conforms to the specs of the National CAD Standards in North America and so the size of the frame cannot be adjusted. If you require that shape, but need it to be larger, use the Identification and Property Label 20 mentioned above. It can be resized and made to look identical to the NCS Indicator 20.

Best regards,

Hi Lilian,

I am glad to hear that you got it working. As for uploading image files, make them no larger than 1600 x 1200 pixels, and the 512kb limit. I hit that brick wall over and over myself years ago. I would make sure my file met the filesize requirements, but I ket missing message that limits the dimensions to 1600 x 1200 pixels. I hope that helps.

Happy Holidays!

Best regards,

Hi,

I am having the same issue where the Wall Types label says "No Wall Type ID can be displayed", and can not figure out where that text can be edited?

Thank you,
