Remove Labels from Electrical Symbols

When you first install the Cadimage Electrical tool, wall plate and component symbols that you place in the project will display a label. For wall plates, the label shows the product code and a code for the fixing height. For components, only the fixing height is displayed. The label forms an integral part of the 2D symbol, however you can remove the label for any view.

ELE_Remove_Label_06

From the Document menu, choose Set Model View > Model View Options … to bring up the Model View Options dialog.

ELE_Remove_Label_01

Open the Cadimage Electrical section of the dialog.

ELE_Remove_Label_02

To remove the labels for the current view, click on the ‘-’ button under Label > Content.

ELE_Remove_Label_03

The label part will be deleted.

ELE_Remove_Label_04

Continue to click on the ‘-’ button repeatedly until only one label part remains.

Now set the remaining part to Custom Text, and clear the contents of the input field.

ELE_Remove_Label_05

The labels will be removed from all the electrical symbols.

ELE_Remove_Label_07

You can apply these settings to ArchiCAD views just as you would for any of the Model View Option settings.
