Labels and Schedules

This section describes how to customize the layout of labels, schedules, and lists on the drawing.

The commands in this section do not have respective Copy Project List to Master, Copy Project List to Standards, Copy Master List to Project, or Copy Standards List to Project commands.

Instead, use the Copy Project Lists to Standards and Master command and the Copy Standards and Master Lists to Project command to transfer settings for all of the commands in this section between your project and your master and standards databases.

Common Schedule Dialog Box Information​

Buttons​

  •   Move the selected row up in the list. For schedules, this moves the corresponding schedule column to the left. For labels, this moves the corresponding row up.

  •   Move the selected row down in the list. For schedules, this moves the corresponding schedule column to the right. For labels, this moves the corresponding row down.

Grid Rows​

For schedules, the first row is the schedule title. It cannot be moved. The schedule title always appears at the top of the schedule. The other rows correspond to a column in the schedule. The rows at the top of the list will be displayed on the left of the schedule.

For labels, there is no schedule title. The rows correspond to the rows of information in the label. The order of the rows in the list is used as the order of the rows on the drawing.

Grid Columns​

  •  Key ☰ The identifier for the column, describing what value it will display. The value in this column is fixed and cannot be changed.

    The Schedule Title key is a special key that exists for schedules. The Label of this key is the title of the schedule. The Width and ☐ Display values of this key are ignored. The width of the title is based upon the width of the columns in the schedule. The title is always displayed with the schedule.

  •  Label The name that will be displayed for the schedule column. For schedules, this is the column label. For labels, this is the row label.

    You can define a second header for a column by separating the two headers with a | character. The first header will be merged across multiple columns with the same first header. See the Column Subheadings in Schedules article in the knowledge base for more information.

  •  Width The width of the column in inches on the printed page. For schedules, each column has a separate width value that controls the value of the specific column. For labels, all of the rows share a common width.

  •  Justification ▾ The justification of the text values in the column. The justification of the title for the schedule and of the column headers are set using the Schedule title justification ▾ options and the Schedule column label justification ▾ option in the Options command.

    •  Left The text is left-justified.
    •  Center The text is center-justified.
    •  Right The text is right-justified.

  •  ☐ Display Whether the column is shown on the schedule or the row is shown on the label. If this is not checked, the value will not be displayed.
