Summary

The CP_OD_XD_LABEL command in CADPower enables users to generate text labels based on Object Data (OD) or Extended Entity Data (XDATA) attached to entities in their drawings. Fully compatible with BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD and ARES Commander, this tool provides a flexible and efficient way to annotate objects with metadata from associated fields.

CADPower -> Extended Entity Tools -> Extended Entity Tools -> Create text labels from Object data / extended entity data

Key features include:

1. Data Source Selection:
   • Object Table: Create labels based on fields from object data tables.
   • Extended Entity Data: Generate labels using DXF-coded XDATA fields.
2. XDATA Field Support:
   • Utilize supported DXF codes for XDATA:
     • 1000: String
     • 1001: String
     • 1040: Real (floating-point numbers)
     • 1070: Integer
   • Specify the occurrence (code count from the start) to ensure the correct field order for labeling.
3. Customizable Labels:
   • Combine multiple fields into a single label.
   • Add prefixes and suffixes to enhance the readability and context of the labels.
   • Specify a delimiter to separate multiple field values within a label.
4. Flexible Placement Options:
   • Single: Place one label at a time for selected objects.
   • Multiple: Generate and place multiple labels in one operation.
   • Stacked Text: Option to arrange label text one below the other for better organization.
5. Label Text Settings:
   • Customize label text height for consistency and visibility in your drawings.

Applications:

• Annotate objects with descriptive metadata (e.g., dimensions, specifications, identifiers).
• Create dynamic and detailed labels for data-driven designs.
• Generate clear, customizable labels from XDATA or object data tables for enhanced project documentation.

Benefits:

The CP_OD_XD_LABEL command in CADPower streamlines the process of creating informative and customizable labels in drawings. Whether working in BricsCAD, AutoCAD, ZWCAD or ARES Commander, this tool enhances efficiency and ensures professional annotations that improve readability and organization.
