Drawing labels provide information about the objects inside a drawing view, such as properties from a database report, text, or graphics (such as a north arrow). The following workflow demonstrates how to create a label that you can output to an isometric drawing to indicate dotted symbology on specific isometric parts. See Dotted Symbology in the Isometric Drawing Options Reference Help.

  1. In Catalog, click Tools > Define Label to open the Define Label Dialog,

  2. Select New COM Label to open the Label Editor Dialog.

  3. Type a name in the Name box. For example, type Dotted dimensioned label.

  4. Optionally, type a description in the Description box.

  5. If required, select Name in the Properties grid, and then click Remove ICON Remove.

  6. Click Add .

    The Select Properties dialog displays so that you can specify the object type and the properties to include.

  7. Click More in the Object type used as the basis for the property identification list.

    The Select Object Type dialog opens and displays the Smart 3D hierarchy.

  8. Select the object type. In the example, Piping Parts is selected.

  9. Click OK to close the dialog and return to the Select Properties dialog.

  10. Set Display properties in this category to Standard, and then select Reporting Requirement in the list of property names.

  11. Click OK to close the dialog and return to the Label Editor.

  12. Select Reporting Requirement in the Properties grid, and then click Insert a field to layout .

    The Label Editor inserts <F>Reporting Requirement</F> in the Label Text window.

  13. Delete <F>Reporting Requirement</F>, and type DOTTED-DIMENSIONED.

    When you generate the drawing, the software the software displays the lines or components in a dotted line.

  14. Select the typed text in the Label Text window, and then click Block Definition to open the Block dialog.

  15. Select Reporting Requirement in the Property list, select = in the Operator list, and set the Value to Not to be reported.

  16. Click OK to close the dialog, and then click OK to create the label and close the Label Editor.

  • A mapped label takes precedence over a mapped filter.

  • To create a dotted undimensioned label, follow the steps in this workflow using DOTTED-UNDIMENSIONED in place of DOTTED-DIMENSIONED.

  • Additional information about the Label Editor Dialog is available in the Drawings and Reports Reference Data Help.

  • For AsBuilt drawings (native Smart 3D objects and Smart Interop Objects), create a label based on the Construction Requirement setting that you can output to the isometric drawing to indicate dotted symbology on specific isometric parts, where New uses solid lines and Existing uses dotted lines.
