A.D.K. Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Hello, Can't figure out how to make text objects appear in label legends. Field text objects are just fine. EG: Text object in label legend 2d layout: "Voltage:"; field object that sits right beside it in same label legend 2d layout: "[Gets voltage from field value]" I've tried having them classed the same and differently from the field text objects that are working just fine, but no joy. Any suggestions? Thanks! Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee klinzey Posted July 13, 2022 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted July 13, 2022 This is not possible with the standard label legend, You would need to use the "Single Label" option. The traditional standard label option used the color, container shape or location to imply the label. Quote Link to comment
A.D.K. Posted July 13, 2022 Author Share Posted July 13, 2022 Thanks @klinzey this may be a stupid question but what does "single label" actually mean? I can't find documentation on it. Quote Link to comment
Vectorworks, Inc Employee klinzey Posted July 14, 2022 Vectorworks, Inc Employee Share Posted July 14, 2022 It's an option in the label legend manager. When this option is selected you will not be able to place the individual labels around the symbol, the labels selected will appear formatted more as a table that are moved as a single block of text with the filed name and value listed.
