DRAWZILLA Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 create a text label style for door labels and make it anything you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Carrick Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 I use a Hexagon for my Window Labels and a Circle for Doors. I know some like to have the size, etc listed directly on the Floor Plan(s) but I prefer having the reference on the Plan and all the rest of the information in the Schedules.

DRAWZILLA Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 ok I thought you wanted the door label to change not the callout or the schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgabriel Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Ron, Try your callout defaults. Double click on the callout icon to open the defaults and adjust your size there....see what happens cause I'm shootin' from the hip on this one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCC-1701 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 The size of the 'label' is controlled in the 'Layer Display Options' for 'Doors, Label'. Change the size of the 'Default Label Style' or create a new 'Style'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRAWZILLA Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Well, here is how I do it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if this is my problem, I have the door label set as [%schedule_number%] macro. When I set to automatic labels the size does change.

DRAWZILLA Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 Its all about the text styles, my friend, I don't think macro's have anything to do with it. You need to create a "door label" text style for it, then change it there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raltd9245 Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 I just spent 30 minutes with support. It worked for Auto but not Specified labels. go figure. I know it must be something I'm doing wrong but we can't figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my schedules west up and they work fine, but it is one of those things that if I sneeze, the entire system make screw up. But I would like to take a look at what you have so I can figure it out, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GerryT Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 FYI -- You probably know this BUT --- If you have a schedule in your plan it will override the label field unless you uncheck " use callouts" in the schedule DBX. -- So using the %schedule_number% macro in your door label field won't do anything. However the layer door label text style controls both. Soo go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason I'm not making myself clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
