Drawing Label position

NachoShaw — Wed, 16 Apr 2014 20:41:52 GMT

Can anyone help me on how this can be set up please? i need tot change the view label position by code to change from the bottom of the drawing view to the top. I have found this- (from the API)

DrawingStandardStyle.SetViewLabelDefaults( ViewType As DrawingViewTypeEnum, Prefix As String, Visible As Boolean, FormattedText As String, ConstrainToBorder As Boolean, PlaceBelowView As Boolean )

how can i implement this to change the view? It is related to the highlighted text 'PlaceBelowView'

Thanks

Nigel

ViewLabel position is controlled by DrawingViewLabel.Position property.

At any moment you may re-assign this property to another Point2d object.

Did you ever find out the answer to this? I'm looking for exactly the same thing

If the views are already in place you can use this

Sub MoveLabelUp()
    Dim oDrawDoc As DrawingDocument
    Set oDrawDoc = ThisApplication.ActiveDocument
    
    Dim oSheet As Sheet
    Set oSheet = oDrawDoc.ActiveSheet
    
    Dim oViews As DrawingViews
    Set oViews = oSheet.DrawingViews
    
    Dim oView As DrawingView
    
    For Each oView In oViews
        Dim oLabelPt As Point2d
        Set oLabelPt = oView.Label.Position
        Set oLabelPt = ThisApplication.TransientGeometry.CreatePoint2d(oLabelPt.X, oLabelPt.Y + oView.Height + 1 * 2.54)
        oView.Label.Position = oLabelPt
    Next
End Sub

Hi,

is it possible to change where the view labels positioned in a template? Mine comes in at the top but i would like it at the bottom on all new drawings which would save considerable time.

Cheers

The view label position is controlled by the active style.

Open the template file, go to the manage tab of the menu ribbon, click on styles, in the style and standard editor upper left panel expand the active standard, click on the active standard, on the view preferences tab, click on the below radio button.
