LABEL TOOL
Accessible
by
button on the toolbar, this powerful tool lets you add lots of
information to your projects; it provides a wide series of label
types to be used to communicate or underline aspects of simulated
object. Here you are a list of label types with their options:
Fixed label: a label which position is locked on the screen
Text: the text displayed by the label;
Font: kind of font used by the label;
Foreground color: text color;
Background: label will have a background if checked;
Background color: background color;
Border: label will have a border if checked;
Border color: border color;
Layer: the index of the layer containing the label;
Screen position: position on the screen (both x and y coordinates have a valid range from 0 to 1). You can simply drag it on the screen, but only when 3D view is disabled.
Label: identical to Fixed label exept that its position is 3D and relative to the project, not the screen.
Directed label: identical to Label but with an additional vertex, used to point something
Point position: point position, relative to the project.
Dimension label: same as Label but with two additional points, used to represent a dimension
First point position: position of first point;
Second point position: position of second point;
Orthogonal distance: orthogonal distance of label from dimension line;
Decimal figures: number of decimal figures used;
Unit: unit used to compute dimension.
Layers list
This list will be automatically filled by the software, depending on layer index used by labels. When a layer is selected on the list (it is by default), every label with this layer index is shown; when a layer is not selected on the list, its labels are hidden.
