View Full Version : Change segment style, multiple labels

All those labels from my question yesterday were parcel area labels, and using the list in Prospector worked great to change the style of all of them at once. Now I have the parcel segments labeled and want to change the style on most of them. I can't find a list of them in the prospector; is there a way to change many of the segment styles at once, or would it be better to erase and redo the segment labels with the correct style? And if I do erase the segment labels...the guide tells me to "click on a label to select it, then right click in the drawing and click Erase"...there is no "Erase" to click, do they mean the "Basic Modify Tools", then "Erase"? I assume I cannot use just the regular AutoCAD Erase command (or can I?). I've been having some trouble with fatal errors in this drawing (seems better since I turned off Autosave), so I'm really treading lightly, afraid to make a false move and get another fatal error! Any help is, as always, very much appreciated!

Hello,

The best way for you to accomplish this is to simply use the AutoCAD erase to get rid of the labels that you have. Then when you have removed all of the labels you wanted to change you can go to Parcels --> Add Labels --> and try changing the value to Multiple segment. This will allow you to select the Parcel Area Label and it will automatically label all segments of the parcel.

Let me know if this works,

Thanks, Melanie! This is pretty much what I ended up doing, but I'm glad to know I can use the regular AutoCAD erase command on the labels I don't want.
