Show part and reinforcement information by using part and rebar labels

You can display selected part and reinforcement properties, user-defined attributes and template attributes in a model view by using part labels and rebar labels.

Part labels and rebar labels are textual descriptions that are displayed next to the object they represent. You can define what information to display in the labels, such as the name, profile, and position number of the part, or the grade, diameter, and sequence number of the reinforcement object.

Double-click the view to open the View properties dialog.
Click Display... to open the Display dialog.
Go to the Advanced tab.
Next to Part label or Rebar label, in the Properties list, select a property.
Click Add > to add the property to the Part label or Rebar label list.

The Part label or Rebar label checkbox is automatically selected when you add properties.
To remove a property from the Part label or Rebar label list, select a property and click Remove.

The Part label or Rebar label checkbox is automatically cleared if you remove all the properties.
If needed, define which user-defined attribute or template attribute you want to display in part labels or rebar labels.
1. Select User-defined attribute in the Properties list.
2. Click Add >. The Part label or Rebar label dialog appears.
3. Enter the user-defined attribute name exactly as it appears in the objects.inp file, or the template attribute name. For example, PRELIM_MARK.
  
  For more information on the objects.inp file, see Define and update user-defined attributes (UDAs).
4. Click OK.
In the Show for lists, select for which objects you want to show the labels.
- All: Labels are shown for all parts and/or reinforcement objects in the view.
- Selected: Labels are only shown for the parts and/or reinforcement objects you select.
- Main part for selected: Part labels are only shown for the main parts of the assemblies you select.
- Main part for all: Part labels are shown for all main parts of all assemblies.
Note that if you select the Selected or the Main part for selected option, you need to first apply the changes to the view when the view is selected. Then continue to select the objects for which you want to show the labels.
Click Modify.
If you want to change the color of the labels, use the advanced option XS_VIEW_PART_LABEL_COLOR.
