## 4.11. Inserting and configuring pipe-run labels

Pipe-run labels are components that, like fittings, are placed on pipe-runs (system segments), in order to permanently display basic calculation results (such as pipe diameter and type) on the drawing. Buttons representing pipe-run labels are on the toolbar in the “Graphics” tab:

– oblique pipe-run label – enables setting of any position of reference line and text and rotation through 90°.

– level pipe-run label – reference line is perpendicular to pipe-run drawing and text is placed over and under the line.

– simplified pipe-run label – text is placed directly above pipe-run drawing. Reference lines are not drawn.

Inserting pipe-run labels is done the same way as inserting fittings. Fast methods of inserting pipe-run labels, described in section 4.10.4, can also be applied.

¨ You can rotate oblique and level pipe-run labels using the mouse. To rotate pipe-run label:

1. Mark the pipe-run label. At the end of the reference line a small icon appears.

2. Position the mouse pointer on . Press and hold the left mouse button.

3. Keep the mouse button depressed and rotate the label.

4. Release the mouse button.

¨ In an oblique label you can additionally change the position of the reference line. To move the reference line:

1. Position the mouse pointer on the horizontal part of the reference line. Press and hold the left mouse button.

2. Keep the mouse button depressed and move the reference line to the required location.

3. Release the mouse button.

After placing the pipe-run label, data for configuring the label appear in the data table:

Pipe-run label:

Complex field. Provide indicating data and results you want to place above the line, under the line or beside the line.

Rotate dwg.:

Complex field. Provide rotating pipe-run label. Used mainly when configuring many pipe-run labels.

A configured label placed on a pipe-run may be saved to the toolbar provided for user-defined modules.

¨ To save a pipe-run label and its settings, mark that label on the drawing and select “Modules / Append to toolbar” in the menu. The modules gallery window appears where you can add your label to a new component. After clicking OK., the new pipe-run label becomes available on the user-defined modules tab.
