Data Tags and dynamic line size?

[laurakukulski]

Hi there,

 

I am starting to set up data tag style and I am wondering how to have a dynamic line size.

For instance, the existing plant tag tool allows you to create a -continuation line- in-between your top and bottom information. 

Is there a way to do that in the Data Tag Style dialog box?

 

Thanks,

Laura

You can do this by adjusting the constraints for the data tag elements.  See the attached example where I modified a standard hardscape tag by adding a vertical line and a constrained text container.  The line grows and shrinks with the length of the last field of user entered text.  Just mind your justification and layout parameters and you can make something nice.
