  1. In the Catalog Explorer list view, select the label that you want to place.

  2. Drag the label to the appropriate place in the drawing.

  3. Release the label when the target is highlighted.

    • When you drag a label over an appropriate target, the target is highlighted.

    • The pointer position, in relation to the item when you place the label, determines if you place the label above or below the item in the drawing.

  4. In the Properties window, select or type values for the properties of the label in the appropriate rows in the table, if needed.

  • Title blocks, flow arrows, off-page connectors, and some component labels use one-point placement.

  • A label display always reflects the values of the item with which it is associated. Labels that populate the item values at placement time are called driving labels. In other words, the predefined properties in the label overwrite current item properties when the label is placed. Labels that do not overwrite the item properties are called driven labels. Labels are defined as driven or driving in Catalog Manager.

  • If you place a flow arrow label on a process run, the direction of the arrow changes depending on the flow direction of the process run. If the process run has no direction defined for it, the direction of the flow arrow label defines the flow direction of the process run. You can use the Configuration Tool, or QuickPick, to select the direction of a flow arrow as you place it.

  • If you place an off-page connector on a pipe in the drawing, the software fills in the connector number and automatically adds a second off-page connector to either the Stockpile or the stockpile of another drawing. When you place the second connector in a drawing, the software automatically updates the number and name of the drawings in both off-page connectors.

  • To display a leader line for the label, right-click the label, and then select Leader line display on the shortcut menu.

  • If the Properties window is not visible, you can display it by selecting a label and then selecting Edit > Properties on the main menu bar.
