Set User Label                                   

The Set User Label command contains several functions effecting appliances' labels in the drawing.

After the Auto-Set Appliance User-Label dialog appears below, users select one of three modes in which to set labels: Elevation, Electrical, or Miscellaneous.

Alternatively, the last option can be selected, Remove user-label text, if users want to delete previously-assigned user-label data.

Data entered into the Set User Label dialog will appear in several reports, such as the Appliance List and Appliances By Circuit reports.

 


Elevation Mode

Choosing the Elevation mode will set users' labels to each selected appliance's elevation relative to either Absolute Zero or the Benchmark location.  By default, the label's prefix or suffix is 'ht,' but can be modified as desired.

Prefix places the label before its elevation value.

Suffix places the label after its elevation value.

In the example at the left, the label will show 'ht above floor' as a prefix, relative to the benchmark. The resulting label:

 


Electrical Mode

The Electrical mode will set users' labels of all selected appliances to one of the appliance's electrical circuit values.  Please be aware that the appliance(s) must be connected to a circuit for this label to appear in the drawing.

 

Voltage and Percentage of drop from the notification device's source will appear like the example to the left when the Electrical option is selected.

 


Miscellaneous

As expected, choosing one of the three Miscellaneous options, Layer name, Part Number, or Model Number will display the corresponding data in the selected appliances' labels. In the example at the left, a generic Part Number was selected as the User Label for the notification device.

 


Remove User-Label Text

The last option, "Remove user-label text," will remove any previously-assigned user labels from the Appliance Tab or the Set User Label dialog above. This option is useful for mass-removals, so users will not have to manually access each appliance's Appliance Tab to remove the label.

To run the command, first highlight all appliances whose labels are to be deleted, then select the "Remove user-label text," option and click OK.

PLEASE NOTE: When the Set User Label command runs, no progress message appears. Results display directly in the drawing and in the Appliance Tab's Label dialog box.
