TheMadCadder Posted Wednesday at 04:51 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:51 PM Can someone point me to the setting to control the positioning of the auto text for door & window callouts? Currently (out of the box) my door & window size text is located directly atop the doors & windows. The default exterior door text sits outside the wall, as I'd like it but not the interior doors or the windows text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie65 Posted Wednesday at 07:18 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 07:18 PM You can go into the DBX for the windows under labels & hit the "enter" key a time or two to move the label to sit below the window. It may work for the doors too. You can always click on the door or window and move the text with the small dot in the center of the call out too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMadCadder Posted Wednesday at 07:42 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 07:42 PM I really hate to have to do that for every opening...on every plan...and every time an opening changes. There's got to be a default setting for openings text position...or is that only a CA thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rookie65 Posted Wednesday at 07:47 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 07:47 PM If you set it in your defaults before you start adding windows, it'll happen with them all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means I do not use opening schedules in my plans and so it is not a solution to the problem I am working on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok...after a bit of experimenting I've solved the first issue... By setting the default window label to "specify label" and then typing in the following in the dbx; <carriage return> <carriage return> %automatic_label% I get an automatic label that is located just outside the exterior wall as I would like...however, the <carriage returns> appear to act as text (not transparent) and now hides the window in plan like its "whited out"...

Rookie65 Posted 13 hours ago Share Posted 13 hours ago Make the box transparent. Maybe spend some time going over the reference manual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
