Line Labels to span segments

[Anonymous]

Trudging through tutorials - Mastering C3D - the bit about spanning segments on an exterior line crossing several parcels. It works like the book shows except the crow's feet only appear at the start and end of the parcel's segment that I click on to insert the label, instead of the start and end of the whole segment. The distance the label reports is correct.

The crows feet are blocks inserted at the start and end of the direction arrow component (visibility false) in the author's style if that helps? I have turned the arrow's visibility on and can see that the arrow does not span the parcels.

I have another drawing in a later chapter on alignments that has the same spanning label style that works and I can't for the life of me discover the difference between the two. Anyone?

Perhaps THIS will help.

Thanks, Brian. You helped me accomplish my goal of learning something. Sure enough the drawing in which the style worked had the Y offset for the direction arrow component, but not the other.

Thanks much
