Manual labels are different than the labels created automatically in Advance Steel drawing. Is it possible to make them look identical ?

  • The automatic labels are the ones defined in the Drawing Style Manager, and use to create the labels when generate the detail drawings.
  • The manual labels are defined and stored in different tables, so they do not match the automatic ones.
