Hi all,
I have created 8 points (from 4 locations with 2 depths in each location) in _All Points/Points. These 8 points are grouped into 2 Point Groups: Points #1, #3, #5 & #7 for Point Group - (1) Depth#1 and Points #2, #4, #6 & #8 for Point Group - (2) Depth#2. The "Name" of Point is filled with the SampleID (like cdc-ss01-s1, cdc-ss01-s2,...) - see the attached file. From the HELP of AutoCAD C3D 2013, I have read/studies the "Point Tables" and "Point Label Styles" and I cannot figure out how to label the 8 points to show the "Point Number", "Point Elevation", and "Name" of Point (i. e. the SampleID like cdc-ss01-s1 & cdc-ss01-s2, ....).!! Please kindly help and give me the detailed instructions for ontaining the labels for these 8 points.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang
Perhaps you have mixed NAME and DESCRIPTIONS. Check out just what you point label display is supposed to show. Normally it is in Description, so perhaps your label should be showing NAME. Select your Label Style in Settings and see what is shown in under the Component name. There is a dropdown arrow next to it.

Hi Bill, Thanks for your response.
I definitely want to show the "Name" of Point (i. e. my SampleID) on my DWG. Please kindly help me and give me the detailed instructions of labelin the "Name" of Point as much as you can.
Many Thanks,
Scott Chang
Hi Jeff, Thanks for your nice, valuable resonse.
I was lucky to get the step you showed in the "Label Styles" of Settings and got the "Name" of Point done. I got the "Name" (i.e.SampleID) appeared on my DWG. But it is pretty messy - see the newly attached file. Please tell me how I can get the "Name" showed up on my DWG neatly.
Thanks again,
Scott Chang
Scott, this is basic Style creation & editing. In order to annotate any C3D object you must have a firm understanding of how to edit the style. I highly recommend going through the tutorials on this:
