Labels

Introduction

This page covers labels which can be added to your scenario.

For a label to be visible on the map you will need to ensure that the Navtech Labels option is selected.

Name: Allows you to change the name of the label.

Hidden: When this is selected then the label will not be displayed on the map.

Font Size: This allows you to change the size of the label name when displayed on the map.

For information please see: Adding Labels.

Once a label has been created it can be edited.

To do this:

Ensure that you are in edit mode and select the label. To select the label, there are two options.
The first is simply click on the label on the map.
The second is to select the label from the object list. Both will perform the same basic task, with the exception that when you select a label from the list, the map will pan to the label in question.
Once selected, the properties list will be displayed and the label will switch to an editable mode.

In Edit mode, you can change the name of the label, alter the font size and decide whether it is hidden.

To alter the location of the label, click on the white point and drag it to a new location.

When you are happy with the changes then click Save.

Alternatively, if you are unhappy with the editing, you can click Cancel and this will undo the changes.

To copy a Label, ensure you are in edit mode. Select the Label and click the Copy button:
A confirmation dialog will be displayed:
If Copy is selected, then the Label will be copied, and will have the same name of the copied label followed by - copy. If Cancel is selected then it will not be copied and you will be returned to the map.
Click Save to save the changes.

To delete a label, ensure you are in Edit mode. Select the label and click the Delete button:
A confirmation dialog will be displayed:
If Delete is selected, then the label will be deleted. If Cancel is selected then it will not be deleted and you will be returned to the map.
Click Save to save the changes.
