Single line segment style using property sets

[Anonymous]

I'm trying to create a single line segment label style utilizing the property sets of a polyline. My understanding is as long as there are property sets in the drawing, which they are, I should be able to get an added "property sets" tab in the Label style Composer>Text Component Editor to use property set data but it never appears. 

In the toolspace I'm using settings>general>label styles>Line to create my label style.

Apply your properties to an Alignment and then you will get the Property Sets tab in the Label Style Composer. It doesn't work with lines and polylines.

I was following an example done in augi. The presenter was labeling polylines using property sets. For example labeling street center lines in one fell swoop with plan readability. It was a nice feature but I could not get the tab in the component editor.

Hi @Anonymous 

The tab does not appear for the line and curve labels, but you can type in the code in the label composer:

<[PS:PSDNAME:PSNAME(CU)]>

substitute PSDNAME with your property set definition, and PSNAME with the name of the property you’d like to read in the label.

Note, you can not label circles! 

Hope this helps

2. The magic part – simply place labels. The figure below shows the label text field within the extended data of a polyline. A line and curve label is placed on that polyline reading that string of text. Of course, the label’s text is dynamic – so change any field and upon

Did you ever figure this out? I'm trying to get this to work as well and can't seem to get the tab to appear in the Text Editor Dialog.

Trying to do a search for more information on this "Property Sets tab will not appear in the Text Component Editor if there is no property set applied to the relevant object type" is scarce.

What is the "relevant object type"?

Hello @mjung. It appears that you missed a post in this thread. You keep asking how to get the tab back, but the question should be How do I still add the labeling, even though the Property Sets dialog tab is not available. Look for the post by @samir_rezk.

Best regards,

Tim

Not at all... I was able to manually add the code based on the example to get the labeling to work. I was hoping to be able to utilize the dialog box to pick the items without having to know or remember what the manual code is.
