Joe_Carrick Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Chief provides several Macros that can be used in Room Labels. These can be found in Macros>Global>Room Info but the way to get them to display in the actual Label is a bit tricky. In Default Settings>Rooms>Room Labels insert the macros you want. The other way to get similar results is to use a Rrich Text (allows better formatting) and simply place that RT within the room or add an arrow which points to the room. With RT you have to manually place a copy of your RT into the room. The first attaced pic shows what I typically use for my Room Labels in a Rich Text. If you instead use the Default Settings approach, don't use the %room.name% macro as chief will provide that automatically. The second pic shows 3 examples: 1: Room Label, 2 RT with Border, 3 RT w/o Border Note: With Room Labels you also don't need to use the %room.dimensions% macro since the Standard Label does it for you.

GerryT Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 FYI -- You don't need to remember the spelling. Just open the > icon which will list all the standard Chief macros. You may need to expand the text box to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted March 4, 2014 Author Share Posted March 4, 2014 Gerry is right about the "insert macro icon" >. I didn't see that in the Defaults because it was in a different position and appearance than in the RT. I modified post #1 to reflect that.
