Structure Label Border Frustration

[jporter]

So here’s my dilemma. . . I’ve got a structure label which labels the manhole rim elevation and the connected pipe information (see the attached image-01).

I realize that I can go into the label style and turn on the border for each component, but I want one box surrounding all my components.  In other label styles this isn’t much of an issue, however in this one I cannot move my “Text for Each” components into the “Stucture Text” component (see the attached image-02)

Is there a way to either combine all my components into one or have the label generate a box around everything?  Take a look at my attached image-03 to get an idea of what I want.

Any input is greatly appreciated. 

Thank you in advance,

Jason

Use a Block...

Mr. Rogers, 

I owe you lunch next time I see you.  I guess all my "thinking outside the box" limited me.  I should have thought of the box.  That was it.

Thanks,

Jason

No problem Jason!

I know this thread is old but I have a follow-up question.

Is it possible to make the block dynamic?

For instance I have a label that registers inlets. That means if the structure has 2 inlets it will have 2 lines. 3 inlets 3 lines etc.

However the block is the same size, right? How would you handle this?

Kind regards

I'm thinking about adding a line (block) being attached to each "component name".

The component at the top will have a horizontal line attached above and 2 vertical lines to either side.

Next component will have 2 vertical lines to either side.

Bottom component will have a horizontal line below and 2 vertical lines to either side.

The above solution would solve my issue... it's not very "intelligent"/intuitive though.

Lines are not being added with multiple inlets.

I'm out of ideas.
