ATH Dimensions > Parts labeling ATHENA Dimensions > Parts labeling
Command input:
ath_label
With this command you can automatically label all ATHENA objects (e.g. standard part, sheet metal section, insulation) as well as blocks and their attributes. You can also label objects or blocks, which are contained in blocks.
When you select an object which cannot be automatically labeled (e.g. line, circle), the command Leader is started and you can label the object manually.

Note
• You can edit leader texts with Modify object or by double clicking. When you select a parts label, ATHENA displays the texts linked to the labeled part in wavy brackets. With these label texts you can only supplement whole lines. When you supplement texts, the reference to the labeled part is retained.
• You can set the part label for each part by clicking the button Label ... in the relevant dialog box. You will find information on this in the Chapter Labeling.
• The leader line is drawn on the current dimension layer. You will find information on layer assignment in the Chapter Layer.
• When stretching leaders with an arrow, the leader arrow always adapts to the new direction.
• You can change the labeling language by selecting another language in Dialog box ATHENA options. You will find further information in the Chapter Options.
