Creating and Applying Profile label Sets
In the previous exercise, you used several types of profile labels to annotate
the design profile for Jordan Court. Each one had to be selected and added to the list
of labels, making this a multistep process. A profile
label set
enables you to store a
list of labels for use on another profile. The settings for each label—such as weed-
ing, major station, minor station, and so on—can also be stored in the label set.
This is quite helpful if you use the same profile labels for multiple profiles. A label set
can even be stored in your company template so it's always there for you to use.
If you haven't already
done so, download
and install the files for
Chapter 8 according to
the instructions in the
Introduction.
