Hi,

The label has to get his information from objects so it can autocomplete the values you are recalling.

This won't work in layout simply because in layout you only have a placed view, you can't "select" or isolate elements in that view.

Hope this makes sense.

Just to clarify.

You are placing the label in the plan view in Archicad, associated to an object.

You then place a drawing of that view on a layout page an the label no longer shows the information?

If you are placing the label directly in the layout, then it wont work.
