Insert Line Text

Inserts text on an existing line. The line to place text on and the location of the text are identified by the user. Options include several ways to handle the broken portion of the line. Insert Line Text allows the digitization of an intersect line for placement of multiple line labels.

Defines the source of the text to label. The elevation of the line is normally placed as a label, but it is possible to place other text.

Defines text to be used as the line text label if Source of Text is defined as other (TEXSOR=1).

Defines the number of places to the right of the decimal point to display in elevation line text labels.

Specifies the layer in which to place the line text label. Either the layer of the line or a user-defined layer may be used.

Specifies the layer to use for the line text label if the Layer Mode is set to Use text layer (LAYMOD=1).

Defines the rotation mode to be used when placing line text labels. The following options are supported:

Defines in inches or millimeters the distance from the center of the line to place the text. A negative number places the text below the line.

Specifies layer in which to place broken portion of line if the Break Mode is set to 3.

Specifies the layer(s) whose lines should be labeled after an intersect line is digitized. These layers normally contain contour lines.

Specifies whether text labels are rotated perpendicularly to the digitized line when using the Dig Line mode. If set to "No", the Rotation Mode will be used to rotate the text labels.

Line-based text labels may be placed on lines in a batch mode. Linear distance is used to set the spacing between labels on each line. Other parameters control the layers to be considered and an optional elevation interval.

Defines the layer(s) on whose lines to place text labels. A number line may be used to define multiple layers.

Sets a contour interval to determine, based on elevation, the lines on which to place text. Setting this parameter to zero will cause all the lines in specified layers to be used.
