Edit a Caption

Captions are used to identify and describe a specific item. For example, to label a door asset. These Captions can be edited and customized.

To edit a Caption:

  1. In Designer, navigate to and select the item whose Caption you wish to edit.
  2. In the Properties grid, you can edit the following settings:
    Caption A label for the asset.
    Font Name The name of the font to use for the caption.
    Font Size The size of the text for the caption.
    Is Bold Whether the text is bold (checked) or not (unchecked).
    Is Italic Whether the text is italicized (checked) or not (unchecked).
    Font Style Styling to be applied to the caption text.
    Line Spacing How far apart to place the lines of text on the caption.
    Strikethrough Check this box to add a strikethrough to the caption text.
    Text Alignment The alignment of the caption text.
    Underlined Check this box to underline the caption text.
    Is Caption Displayed Whether the caption is visible (checked) or not (unchecked).
    Is Caption Rotated with Asset If the caption is rotated at the same angle as the asset (checked) or not (unchecked).
    Note: If this is checked, you cannot set a specific angle for the Caption.
    Relative Location You can select a preset relative location. This will place the caption in a position relative to the asset icon.
    Note: If you have a specific X and Y value set for the Caption, setting this property will override those settings.
    Warning: Do not swap between lower middle and center radio buttons, as this may cause Designer to freeze.
    Relative Position X The position on the X axis relative to the asset icon to place the caption.
    Note: If you set the Relative Location property, setting this will override that setting.
    Relative Position Y The position on the Y axis relative to the asset icon to place the caption.
    Note: If you set the Relative Location property, setting this will override that setting.
    Rotation Angle The angle at which to rotate the caption.
    Border Width The width in pixels of the border for the caption.
    Color The background color for the caption.
    Show Whether to show the caption background (checked) or not (unchecked).
