Edit or Delete Existing Label Tables

Use the Edit Label Table command to add points, segments, and/or polygons to, or remove them from, an existing label table.

Use the Delete command to delete an entire existing label table from the project.

Note: To ensure that the size of dimensions or labels is correct when viewed in the Plan View, verify that the plot scale for the project is set correctly in Project Settings > View > Plan View. The plot scale is the factor used to convert from ground units to sheet units (ground units / plot scale = sheet units). For example, if the default plot scale of 600 is used, an object with a length of 600 m in the Plan View will plot with a length of 1 m on paper. In survey feet, the default plot scale of 50 will plot as 1 foot on paper.
