Better Labels?

Anonymous

Was wondering where I might find window/door labels that
center themselfs in pane of window/door panel.
And if none exist, how to turn off the funky lines coming out from it?
I thought I'd tried all the combinations, but maybe I've been missing something?
thanks

Thanks Erika for the redirection.
I was working with one of my test.plns and none of the labels were there
(loaded).
Checked regular project.pln and all ok in that regard.

To anyone.
Got rid of the funky lines, but is there someone who has or can write a label that centers itself in window pane or center of door panel, in elevation?
I just think it looks a lot better in elevation if it's centered, no leader lines and not blocking trim etc.
Sure, I can move them but that gets annoying after a while.
If free one is not available, could someone list here or PM what that
might cost?
Thanks

Once you have one centered, save it as a favorite. You may need one for each window/door size.

Hello Erica

Placing window/door labels in elev as you listed in you other post works fine.
However, trying to save a window as a favorite with a label in the center of
a pane in elevation does not work in my opinion.
I can't even get a window to show up with a label in elevation at all (as a favorite saved that way). The only way is to place the elev. label after the window(s) is/are placed, and then center it.
Did I miss something again?

Alas, it gets you all but X offset value.
