Space Label Location

When a space's size/shape is modified, the location of the label for that space is changed. If the label has been placed in a specific location, then it must be moved back to that location every time the space size or shape is modified. Is there a setting that will allow the label to stay where placed instead?

  • It looks like the artifact always wants to remain centered within the space's boundary, while the drawing label shifts in the direction of the boundary modification.   Is this what you are seeing?   If so, I would suggest logging a Service Request with support requesting an application-level "annotation lock" so that the labels remain in their modification locations.  

    FWIW I can't seem to get the drawing labels to un-rotate, just shift.

  • Thank you Steve... I have contacted support and logged a request for the "enhancement".

    Only problem would be that because of all of our custom stuff that Professional Services has done for us, I have been told that we cannot upgrade past SS4 currently. So if by chance this is addressed, I guess it still won't help us.

    I still appreciate the response.

  • With regard to this issue there has been an enhancement filed.

    The number is: 127942, if this issue is of concern to you as well, please

    Log a Service Request with support via the Service Ticket Manager and

    We will be happy to link your request with this Enhancement.

          

  • Late but who knows might be helpful...
    I usually select all the drawing labels , rotate them (right-click, properties, and input the angle required), then move them to where is best (might be one by one if residential...) then re-select them all, right-click properties, Lock them. that's it.
  • Stan - this is the same issue I have been logging with you guys. Losing the user defined placement. Door symbols are worse as titles (for me) have not lost their linkage or placement as often.

    However if you UPDATE your saved view this can tend to cause the titles to reset.

    If there is a log. And based upon CONNECT. I'd rather the room name be placed once as a LABEL AFTER that never moved by the software. I only want it to change or disappear if the section cut does not include that Room. Then and only then would it add a new label.
