Allows you to specify one or more 2D layers in the drawing to serve as white object layers for a label placed in clear space. Graphical objects set on these layers are rendered invisible to this label, allowing placement of the label on top of these objects.

WhiteObjects

1 - Pipe within a White Object Layer
2 - Equipment label overlapping pipes

For example, you can create a graphic rule for piping, placing all piping graphics on the Pipes layer. Next, specify the Pipes layer for the White Object Layer property. All labels of this label template type then overlap all drawing view graphics on the Pipes layer.

  • If this filter is set to "*" during label placement, then the system ignores all objects that are not labels or leaders.

  • The number of allowed white object layers in the label template is unlimited.

  • The Default annotation control generator uses this property.

  • The Clear Space Position by 2D Curve positioning module uses this property.

  • To manually edit the .xml file, enclose the layer name within the following .xml tags.

<whiteObj>LAYER_NAME
</whiteObj>

  • LAYER_NAME can refer to any layer that you choose.
