Other label types, such as segment labels, are not part of a group. Each of these labels is treated as an individual object. Labels are distinct objects that are independent of the parent object that they annotate. Labels are dynamically linked to their parent object and automatically update when the parent object changes. However, labels reside on a separate layer and are not selected when you select the parent object. If a label resides in an externally referenced drawing, the label cannot be edited in the current drawing. NOTE Point, parcel area, corridor, and surface watershed labels are not object type labels. They are sub-entities of a parent object and their properties are managed in the Label Properties dialog box. For more information, see the AutoCAD Civil 3D Help topic Moving Labels in a Drawing. This exercise continues from Exercise 2: Manually Labeling an Object (page 752). Select labels in a drawing NOTE This exercise uses Labels-2a.dwg with the modifications you made in the previous exercise, or you can open Labels-2b.dwg from the tutorial drawings folder (page 819). 1 Make sure that you are zoomed in to the area around the West Street label on the alignment on the left-hand side of the site. 2 Select the alignment. Notice that the alignment is highlighted, and grips appear along the alignment. The alignment labels, however, are not highlighted. In previous versions of AutoCAD Civil 3D, labels were sub-entities of their parent object. Now, most AutoCAD Civil 3D labels are independent objects that reside on their own layer. Although they are independent objects, labels are dynamically linked to their parent object and automatically update to reflect changes in the parent object. 3 Press Esc to deselect the alignment. 4 On the road alignment, click one of the station labels. Notice that all other station labels along the alignment are now highlighted. 5 Press Esc to deselect the station labels. 756 | Chapter 19 Labels and Tables Tutorials
