How to force AutoCAD Map 3D to draw a FDO label even if they overlap?

[swt-gis]

I have the following layers in AutoCAD Map 3D 2015:

Layer 1: Shapefile (FDO) with object label (color red) (polygon shapefile)

Layer 2: Industry Model (topobase) label (color blue)

If I make layer 2 visible then the labels of layer 1 are no longer displayed.

The text of layer 1 and 2 overlap.

Is there an option to force AutoCAD Map to draw labels of layer 1 even if they overlap with labels of layer 2?

The "FDO Shapefile Object Label in red" is no longer displayed when Layer 2 (Industry Model Label - topobase) is shown (in blue color):

Hi Jens,

you cannot enable this in Map GUI. Do this:

- save layer as XML (context menu)

- open in editor

- search for your label definition in XML

- below the label definition there should be those tow lines:

<CheckExclusionRegion>false</CheckExclusionRegion>
<AddToExclusionRegion>false</AddToExclusionRegion>

Change from true to false.

- add layer to drawing again

I don't know if you need to change both or not - too lazy to look it up or test.

Robert, thank you very much. This was exactly the solution.

I used

<CheckExclusionRegion>false</CheckExclusionRegion>

in the Shapefile (FDO) layer.
