This property defines the distance from the labeled item to the label. Offset distance applies for labels that are defined with one-point placement. This property also applies for two- point label placement if the property for offset source is set to Local. The property must be defined correctly in Catalog Manager to allow you to place your label. The actual plant- wide offset distance is specified in Options Manager.

The software measures the distance from the bounding box of the item to receive the label and the bounding box of the label itself. Consider the offset as the clearance distance between the bounding boxes.

  • The bounding box in Smart P&ID differs from the SmartSketch definition of range. SmartSketch (A) uses the x-y coordinate range around an item. Smart P&ID (B) uses a rectangular area.

  • For a line segment, the bounding box is the line itself.
