Background

User wanted to modify the location of the labels inside the instrument bubble so that gap between the annotations can be narrowed down. This article will explain how you can modify the schemas in class editor to narrow down the gap between the labels inside the bubble. Below is the picture of an Instrument which shows how default bubble is annotated.

Steps to Accomplish

To Modify Parametric Instruments

1. Open Class Editor and load OpenPlant_PID schema.
   
   
2. Supplement it with OpenPlant_PID_Supplemental_Imperial schema.
   
   
3. Go to INSTRUMENT_PARAMETRIC class.
   
   
4. In the properties tab locate DEVICE_TYPE_CODE property.
   
   
   
   
5. Modify the Y-coordinate for Origin Offset to 1.5 in 'Annotation Custom Attribute' as highlighted below.
   
   
   
   
6. Similarly change Origin Offset to -1.5 for NUMBER property as shown below.
   
   
   
   
7. Save the changes in schema and verify the result.

2. Switch to properties tab and select TEXT1 property.
   
   
   
   
3. Change the Origin Offset to 1.5 for Y in Annotation Custom Attribute as highlighted below.
