c. For Line Label Style, select Distance [Existing].
The text of each label
changes to include only
the inside distance of
the associated parcel.
The bearing for the indi-
vidual segments can be
omitted because the
bearing on the opposite
side of the line provides
that information.
d. Click Add.
7. Click the west side of the John Smith property. A new label is created
that reflects the distance associated with just the John Smith property,
not the overall distance.
8. Close the Add Labels dialog box, and press Esc to end the command.
Pan to the south to view the labels for lots 36, 37, 60, and 59.

Editing Parcel Segment labels Graphically
You can use a number of methods to graphically edit parcel segment labels.
The labels are equipped with special grips that enable you to move them easily.
You can also capitalize on their built-in dragged state in areas where there isn't
enough room for the label to be placed right on the line or curve. In addition,
you can flip labels to change which side of a line or curve they are placed on,
and you can reverse labels to change a NE bearing to SW and vice versa.
If you haven't already
done so, download
and install the files for
Chapter 13 according to
the instructions in the
Introduction.
Exercise 13.6: Edit Parcel Segment labels Graphically
In this exercise, you'll employ several graphical editing techniques on parcel seg-
ment labels in your drawing. These include grip-editing, flipping, and reversing
labels as well as moving them to initiate their dragged state.
1. Open the drawing named Editing Labels Graphically.dwg located
in the Chapter 13 class data folder. The drawing is zoomed in to lot 68.
Notice the bearing and
distance labels for the
west sides of lots 68
and 62. The bearing
is listed twice, which is
redundant.
2. Click the label on the west side of lot 68, and then click Label
Properties on the ribbon.
3. In the Properties window, change Line Label Style to Bearing. Close
the Properties window.
4. With the label still selected, click Flip Label on the ribbon.
5. Click the diamond-shaped grip of the label, and slide it south to the
line that is shared between lots 68 and 62.
The label is now dis-
played on the west
side of the line.
