Part Labels

Part labels are used to place part numbers and part dimensions for the following (construction) items:

  • plates
  • brackets
  • shellframes
  • profiles
  • face plates
  • flanges
  • lugs (collar plates)
  • shell plates
  • (piping) outfitting
  • database part.

The part labeling function can either be started from the Symbol or the Logistics menus and toolbars. Using the function's FDO keys, one or more types of part labels can be placed at a certain construction item type: dimension, text and/or number.

Part labels are (Eagle) models which, next to additional lines and circles, are made of the following items:

  • text fields
  • part symbols
  • indication lines
  • connection points.

An extra "indication line" is placed between the point where the construction item is selected and the nearest connection point in the part label model when the distance between these two points is larger than 50% of the part label model's diagonal.
