Label orientation

[jeanturcotte]

When I turn the cabinet Label by 180 degrees to align it with face of cabinet, it's always staing on same direction. What can I do to turn it ?

Thank's

AFAIK, that's not possible. Chief assumes that labels should read from the right and bottom of the sheet.
If you really need it that way you can suppress the label and create a text block with the appropriate text

We can set a precises angles in the label config but the software is replacing it ??? I really don't understand the developers...

thank's

Try to set it to absolute angle.

[Joe Carrick]

I think they just took the standard practice and didn't leave any option for flexibility.

However, I think if you set the angle to 181 it will work - and to my eye it's not noticeable.

[jeanturcotte]

Why do it simple when you can do it complicated...

thank's

[Chiefer]

I can turn it as I please. Did you try it Jean?

[jeanturcotte]

no, when a set it to 270 deg, it is flip backed to 90 deg.

[Chiefer]

How about 90.1?

It's working now. Tell me, do you know how can I make the label on top of the cabinet layer ?

Turn off the "Fill" of the upper cabinets.

At this moment, I'm losing cabinet color !

[Joe Carrick]

Well, that's the only way the label of the lower cabinets are going to be visible thru the upper cabinets. IAE, the color wouldn't normally show in a layout.

Thank's Joe, really appreciated.
bye !
